Is it posible any way for Microsoft to locate my XP Home, and I come to a
lack of a word here, s/n, reg./# or what ever MS uses, if my, which it was,
laptop was stolen and if connected online and MS did a remote connection, and
did a ipconfig /all then tell me the IP so I could tell the ISP the IP then
they tell me the location. Although that may violate the privacy act.

PLEASE HELP ME!
I MISS MY COMPUTER!

Not possible. You need to buy another computer and, this time, take care
of it.

You need to setup before hand.

No. There are third-party security services that do that sort of tracking,
but they would have had to be installed and subscribed to previously. Use
the insurance money to buy a new laptop.
