hi Group,
The article refers to a registry hack and I have tried it and it does
work. I have gotten 4 or 5 updates to my Windows XP system for May of
2014. Note that official support was supposed to have ended on April 8,
2014. The updates included security updates for Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6, Net Frame Work 2.0 and a couple of Malicious software tool
updates.
