Where in XP is Product Key?

[shiatan]

Hello everyone. My friend doesn't have the owner's manual but needs to reinstall Windows XP Pro. Is there somewhere where I can find it in Windows before I reformat the HD? He has too much malware and it won't go away so I want to start over but need the Product Key. Thanks for any help. :~) John

Echo Belarc Advisor. It is really a great utility. With one click it will show you the license numbers for all software installed in your system including the OS.

Agree ..Belarc Advisor is one of the best
Also, Aida32 is very good, as is Everest Home Edition

It is suggested you Print Out the reports before you do your format .. this way you will
have all the information at hand
