Lost my XP key
My mother got mad because I didn't want to clean my room. So, I told her if she wanted it clean she could do it. Well, she did, and in the process of cleaning she through away a stack of papers. In that stack was my XP product key.
So here's my problem, how do I find out what my key is in case I need to reinstall windows? |

Open Regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT \CurrentVersion. Look at ProductId. The CD Key is digits 6 thought 15.
Clean your room! |

not important,
I gave this a try and the product ID is numeric. Product Key is what Bluematrix wants and this is alpha numeric Hope you have your reciept cause this I think is the way to go http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];326246 the link you want is at the bottom of this page
