How to reinstall Windows XP without activation

A fresh install of Windows is usually quite snappy and gets slower and more unwieldy over the years. The only remedy is to reinstall from scratch once in a while. Windows XP however requires an activation after each installation. You can circumvent this activation by keeping a copy of

\Windows\system32\WPA.DBL

and replacing the file after the fresh XP install.
