RE: no hardware change but need to activate window again

I recently had a user using Windows XP Pro that moved some files around
between user folders (specifically start menu stuff) manually using Windows
Explorer and this triggered a reactivation. He was actually trying to move
start menu selections between users to limit their availablility to other
users. I guess what I'm getting at is if you have moved some of the system
files around manually, you may trigger this.
