Question Need some help with Windows XP

Where do I look in regedit to find out the cd key to windows that is installed on my computer. I'm formatting my other computer and want to use the cd key I used on my main computer cause its a valid key. I'm assuming its in regedit somewhere (I hope) if anyone knows pm me or reply asap, I need to start formatting the other one. Thanks!

In my professional opinion buy it.

I have yet to see a WPA hack stick for more than a year..

You can get a legit liscence fo peanuts noadays.

You own a legit liscence correct?

The information is in the registry.

start > run > regedit
HKey_LocalMachine\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion
click on "+" signs until you reach "current version". At that point, click on "current version. On right panel, look for "productkey".

It may not be what you are looking for, I hope it is

Bill Gates is watching ...I dont think you should be discussing this stuff in a public forum...Hes gonna find out you using an illigal key and sue you for piracy, for 1 million, so you might as well just pay the two hundred and get a legit key, save yourself a million bucks....

I havent paid for a legit copy of windows in my life, all you need is a corperate key and your set...it will do all your computers, no problems...muwaahh screw microsoft (MS)
