FIRST, find the changes made to the computer (i.e, reg files, hidden files, ini files etc.), THEN, find out if manipulation of these files can change registration; the latter of which coming w/experience.I do feel ur right, Chronos, in that newbies (like myself) may look at a task from the wrong perspective. IT is experience, and help from advanced crackers that enable the newbie cracker to begin to "step out of the box" and think creatively. That is exactly what this excellent forum by Sandman is achieving.---SublimaZe
