Windows Genuine Advantage

I recently reinstalled Windows XP Professional and I had to reactivate, so I
did it through the internet and it all worked fine. I went to download
Windows Messenger 5.1 from the MS download website and it was validating my
XP installation and it said that Windows XP needs to be activated. I deleted
the start menu shortcuts to activate Windows XP, so I need to know the file
name to open up the activation window. I don't know why the website says I
need to activate Windows when I already did so, does anyone know the file
name?
