SKU# in System Info?

[ms]

Is there a utility on the PC that will return the manufacturers SKU#? I
can't seem to find it in System Info...

If you are useing windows xp try going to the start button and then go to
help and support and then look for {undo changes to your computer with system
restore try taking it back in time and see if this will help

Hi, sorry, by 'return' i meant simply check system for the computer
brand's sku, not restore/return.

Thanks anyway

I see this in msinfo32...

System Manufacturer Gateway
System Model G6-450

This is where it is in the registry...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OemInfo
WbemOem = System Manufacturer
WbemProduct = System Model

Do you really mean the license key for XP? If so any of these utilities
will retrieve it from the running OS. Note, if it was an OEM install such
as by Dell or HP, and the OS has not be reinstalled, then the key retrieved
by these utilities will be the key for the bulk image used by the OEM. This
key will not work when reinstalling the OS.
