Keep your activation status intact when reinstalling XP

Learn how you can reformat your hard disk and reinstall Windows XP on a system without messing around with Microsoft's Product Activation after the reinstall. See it here: http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-10590_11-5551428.html?tag=nl.e102

Okay so if I copy these two files and replace the files after reinstall, then that will keep the activation popup from reminding you to activate? I have reinstalled so many times that I have to call MS now to read off my numbers and type in the new numbers. I hate doing this.
