Well, it appears as though the hack on winguides.com applies to the base Windows
XP sfc_os.dll... not the one that comes with Service Pack 1. Not wanting to expend
the actual effort required to figure out the old hack and apply it to the new DLL
(and who knows if they've made it harder to crack this time around), I just shot
the folks at Winguides an email. Perhaps they'll have an update on the site soon...
