Location of Half-Life cd Key?

[datalink7]

Hi all,

Is there a way to get a CD key for half life/counterstrike from you computer? A friend of mine wants to formatt his computer and install win2k, but he can't find the cd case to his counterstrike disk (though he has the cd), so he doesn't know his key. Is there a location on the computer that you can find it?

Thanks for any assistance.

Did you ever find out how to find the CDkey from your computer? If so...post it.

run regedit

your cd key is here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/valve/half-life/settings/key/
