warning refusing WGA has consequenses

I bought a copy of XP for my wife's PC, but it got stolen
by skinheads. Now a year later I installed it on my old
kompyooter. Then I clicked on windows update, and chose
express updates. One of these ws for WGA and I did not
install it. Later I find my disk is almost full.
the folder=
windows/softwaredistribution/download has a gazillion
megabytes of files that should be deleted later.
How spiteful and childish mister gates!

Hooplehead alert.

Choosing not to install WGA Notification tool (KB905474) has nothing to do
with the "gazillion" files in the Download folder.
