Although the recorder function that comes with WinXP is small and practical, and the recording effect is good, it has a fatal flaw: the recording time is only 60 seconds, and it cannot even finish recording a song.

1. Enter the "regedit" command in the "Run" window of the "Start" menu and click the "OK" button.

2. Find the following key in the pop-up "Registry Editor" window: HKEY_CURRENT_USER→Software→Microsoft→Windows→CurrentVersion→Applets→Sound Recorder. Double-click the x in the right frame of the Sound Recorder key, and a dialog box will appear. Select Decimal, change the numerical data to 300, and click OK.

3. Right-click x and select Name and change it to bufferdeltaseconds. In this way, our recording time can reach the upper limit of 300 seconds.

After the recording time reaches 300 seconds, we can record a complete song, so you no longer need to download complicated and paid recording software from the Internet. I believe this method of modifying the registry will be helpful to you. Let’s apply what we have learned together.
