I use to update my Xp SP-2 regularly from MS website. Now a days it is insisting to install "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" first to proceed for downloading update files.Is it a FORCE or I can bypass this tool. I do not want to install it, as somebody told me this is a tool by MS to takeout personal information on my OS (XP) and MS Office and other MS Software.I know I use genuine legal copy.But why should I allow MS to take more information ? Is not WPA through internet is not sufficient ? Can this tool take information on other products/3rd party software like NERO,MS OFFICE and ArcSOft ?
On an XP Pro SP2 box, until a couple weeks ago, when I brought up the cmd prompt by typing cmd in the run box, I always got XP''s cmd prompt aka dos emulator with a name bar and right clicking on it gave me tools to configure it's appearance and functions. I am not using cmd in full screen mode. I can see it by right clicking the minimized cmd on my task bar, using properties or I can use edit from that right click context, but I want the name bar back. When I go to the right click context>properties and click normal window it should restore this but it doesn't.
Upon hitting a sequence of keyboard keys in error, my tool bar at the bottom of the screen has disappeared.

Where is the blocker tool used to keep Windows XP SP2 as far away as possible? According to the latest Windows Platform eMails, "Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 will be posted to Automatic Updates (AU) on July 26. To assist customers who want to block SP1 until their deployment plans are finalized, a blocker tool (similar to that offered for Windows XP SP2) is available."

Last week my Windows Explorer Toolbar disappeared. When I open "my documents" or any other folder on my computer, the top toolbar isn't present.I can't access the file menu, change folder views, or anything.I've run several checks for viruses or malware using McAfee and AdAware with no significant results.I suspect it's a problem in Windows, but I can't figure out how to repair it.I keep Windows up to date, and running extremely lean. I have few extra processes running.I attempted a system restore back to the day before the problem occurred. Upon startup, I would get an error message stating Windows Explorer Must Close. I did an un restore.
