Hey:
Click Start, click Run, type in regedit and hit enter.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProductID.
Now if your talking about the Key which is what you enter when you install
Windows then there's a free system information tool called
AIDA32. Its really useful and can be downloaded from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php When you open it go to Operating System >
Operating System and look under License Information look for Product Key.
If you're as disorganised as me and loose CD cases reguularly - then there's
another REALLY useful utitlity called Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. This can
be downloaded at
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.html. Magical
Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a freeware utility that retrieves your Product Key
(CD Key) used to install Windows from your registry. It has the options to
copy the key to clipboard, save it to a text file, or print it for
safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, .NET, Office 97,
and Office XP. This version adds support for multiple installations of
Office and the ability to change the Windows XP, 98, and ME installation
key.
Hope this helps!
Rich
