lost product key

[Wesley Kluckhohn]

I wend to re-install my windows XP and come to find out
that somewhere between my last three moves in the last
year that I have misplaced/lost my product registration
key for Windows XP. I see that there is a way to recover
it off of the registry for 98, 2000, and millenium, is
there a way to do this for XP? I would hate to have to
go back to using 98 because I can't recover my key.
