This is the program to find your xp key

[sunsider]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion].
In right pane, look for key by the name "ProductId".
Any questions?

 

[willsko87]

yeah if you want the product id then do what sunsider said...if you want the cd key which you need to input use:http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/prodkey.php

 

[sunsider]

the cd key is in there too .. listed as product key ...

 

[willsko87]
