Best to pay attention this time to the big-print warning
on the CD case: "Don't lose this product key." Remember
to make a note of your MS Office key too.

I also have XP, in the manual booklet that came with my pc it reads that if
you registered your pc with the manufacturer & Microsoft then you should be
able to get all your pc info. on either one of those websites.

Try going to "My Computer" right click on it, Open Properties-there it should
have the info. you need, Support Information.

Product Keys aren't normally stored on either Microsoft or OEM
sites for any particular computer. The owner/user is responsible to
properly store or note what their Product key is. That is why OEM
PCs have the sticker on them.

The product key sticker should be located on the back of your pc and on the
back cover of the Windows XP Manual that came w/ pc.

Here are four utilities, all of which will display your product keys:
Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
(It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.)
Also:
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional
features

Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the
OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not
match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as
Dell use an internal
key code when they build your PC.

The key code on the sticker is for use with your Windows CD that hopefully
came with your PC.

If, by "register number" you mean "Product Key:"

The Windows 25-character Product Key (required to perform the
installation) is not on the installation CD in any way, shape, or form.
It is stored on the CD packaging on a bright orange sticker that says
"Do not lose this number." If it was an OEM (factory installed)
license, it's stored on a label that the PC manufacturer affixed to the
exterior of the PC case, or on the bottom of a laptop.

To recover a lost Product Key:

If your system still runs, you should be able to use Belarc Advisor
from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to find the Product Key.
(If you have a factory-installed OEM license, and haven't since
reinstalled the OS, the revealed Product Key is probably of the drive
image used at the factory and not your specific Product Key; therefore,
it probably cannot be -- and definitely should not be -- used for a
re-installation.)

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer; although very few manufacturers/vendors keep records of
the Product Keys they've sold, it's worth a try before you have to buy a
new license.
