recovering office product key

2 questions:

- where are the registry files located in windows XP? (used to be user.dat and something.dat in windows 98)

- is there a way to recover my old office 2000 product key from a broken down installation? windows could not be loaded any more at all, so I wasn't able to dive into regedit and look for the key, but I've backed up the entire drive with ghost, so the product key should still be in there somewhere

 

try Belarc Advisor (free)...it may work.

 

Got a bit of conflicting info, but check for wpa.dbl, or wpa.dbi. Not sure which is correct. I am on a W98SE, right now. Check out RockXP available from MG.
