Is there a way to run an extractor? (programs that dont need activatio

[Lolicon]

There are some programs that require no activation, and I was wondering if I can just run an extractor to move them into places like C/DocsSettings/~/ApplicationSettings or C/Program Files.

Also what is a good testbed for my very own edition of windows? I'm leaning towards VirtualPC but if someone says something good about something else like VMWare's (free/paid) edition I might use them too. Is there some sort of PC Emulator that emulates the hardware that you currently have?
