They do have a kill Xp switch at microsoft

Over at the other forum I posted a help thread for my shell
well I have the problem
My "copy" of Xp was a little less then legitimate and had a WPA patch to stop the activation, However I updated some files in my shell and this stopped the patch working just long enough for Microsoft to get the genuine dis-advantage thing on my PC.
for some reason then my copy of explorer.exe messed up, now every time I fix the explorer files they mess up again and ethereal is reporting that the IP address that I'm connecting to just before it shuts down is ... Microsoft's update service EVEN when I have updates turned off
So I'm now on an alternate shell with explorer.exe removed from my comp and I don't have a single problem <!--emo&:rant:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/angry1.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='angry1.gif' /><!--endemo-->
