In any windows, is there any files that keep the serial number that we had type during the setup?
 
Only in the Windows Registry.

Start/Run, type regedit <Enter>, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.

On the right panel, scroll around halfway and look for &quot;Product Key&quot;.
 
i was gonna , but i dont remember.. try going to the registry and do a search for product key

I would, but i am not running win2k right now. sorry.
 
Your registry stores most of the contents in a system.dat file and anything can be found in there. Get part of your Id code and search for it using the Find feature in Start. Search for the id code as the &quot;containing text&quot; feature.

Start>Find>Files or Folders>Containg Text, set to search through all of C: or in the system.dat ... then your set.

Always make a backup of your system.
 
If you go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
you will see a DigitalProductId in binary and a ProductID.
