just search the registry for it... it's buried in there...

R-click "My Computer"/ properties & it should show there.

no that will only show the product id. i think he means the actual registration number you have to type in when you install 98. that requries a different number.

Open regedit.

Open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion

Its on the right hand side, under the value "ProductKey"

You might want to tty thisBelarc Advisor It lists a ton of information about your machine. Including registration #'s. The program displays the info on your machine only. The info is not transmitted over the web or any where else.

crystaldragon -- Belarc is nice, especially when used in conjunction with SiSoft Sandra. But that's the registration number and he's looking for the product key.

Harder
