If you ever need the product key, have not formatted your drive and can still
access Windows, Long Lost MVP George Gedye has an app ( RegInfo ver3 ) that will pull it from the registry for you. http://www.mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/ Click on Software, click on Applications, scroll down to RegInfo ver3. Or Your Product Key can be found in the registry. Go to Start Run, type in: regedit and hit enter. Navigate to: Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion Click once on CurrentVersion, the name not the +, and scroll to ProductID or ProductKey in the right pane. Or If you can’t boot Win98, but haven’t formatted the system drive, then boot with a startup floppy or to a command prompt and run either of these: C:\Windows\command\Find /I “ProductKey” c:\windows\system.dat C:\Windows\command\Find /I “ProductKey” c:\system.1st -- Brian A.
