I lost my cd key but the game is installed on my computer
Does anyone know if there is a way to extract the cd key from your game files for Warcraft 3?

Thanks

Not sure for that game specifically, but I'd start by checking the registry entries. I haven't played many games on the PC in ages apart from maybe CSS and so I could easily be wrong.

How would I do that?
Not very good at those type of things

CD keys are not stored in the registry. They are encrypted into a MPQ file when you install the game.

Thanks care,

I asked this question before. Use Google to search for one, but beware most of them steal your CDKEY.

You have to realize that most of the people who post questions like this are trying to use a pirated disk, and don't get much help here...
There ARE key-generators available on the intarweb...but, you takes yer chances with them...not all are very legit.
