babis Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Hi, I lost my winxp folder. I have the Academic winxp pro upgrade edition($95).It comes in a cool looking folder, anyhow I lost that folder with my key and cd. But luckly my brother still has his copy, so I was hoping if there is a way I can find the CD-Key I installed on my comp?I know it can't be the serial # on the my computer::>properties area.If anyone can help me out, I'd be much obliged.

Guest LouCypher Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 The answer is you don't. When you enter your WPA code or VLK @ setup, it passes that information to PIDGEN.DLL, which does a little magic and pops out your PID as a result. The PID is located here:HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionProductIDUnless you can find a program that will do it in reverse (PID -> WPA/VLK code) then you're S.O.L.

babis Posted November 25, 2001 Author Share Posted November 25, 2001 NO LAUGHING!!!you guys won't believe this, I could've sworn I put my xp folder in the last drawer of my desk. But when I went to search for it no luck, so I went nuts posting every forum I found "how to obtain cd key " well, it's almost 6am and I was lurking around the drawers and decided to pull the whole thing out, GUESS WHAT?the cd was hidden under it. Not sure if you can visualize it, but anyhow I just had to tell someone!!!!!!!!!!again thanksand yay i have my copy!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
