Question How do I remove all evidence of trial version/timed trial programs and demos/WIN XP?
I have a nagging question that I need answered by E-MAIL only, not by telephone or by snail mail. I want to know how a person can take out the keys/tage that prevent them from continuing a trial version of a game or program. I know the registry puts some sort of key/tag that stops you from going past a timed trial or a 30 day free trial of a program. My biggest problem is I need to remove all evidences of the program so that I can also install the new program with no "trash" on my hard drive as well. The trial versions are never long enough or good enough to justify the purchase as of yet to me. How can I remove all the trah and debris of the trial programs I install so that the computer will see it as the fact that it was never installed to begin with? Thank you for your time and help.

I think your question was answered in the thread you started in software.

Closing thread, as this is close to hacking software, which is against forum rules
