bigred Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 do they still have win xp home running on their comp? if so you can go into the registry and find it there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 yo red.....where in the reg is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I don't know were to find it in the reg. I have this prog called belarc advisor, and when you run it, your cd key is listed under software liscencses. It's like 1/2 a meg and takes two seconds to install. http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisor.exe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 You can contact Microsoft support to get a CDKey, or you can locate it in the registry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
