Skip Annoying OpenOffice Registration Screen

I just wanted to post about a helpful tip that I came across to skip the registration wizard in OpenOffice.org when installing from an administrative install point. Edit the setup.xcu file in "OpenOfficeInstallDirectory\share\registry\res\en-US\org\openoffice\setup.xcu" to look like the following:
