Finding your Windows XP Product Key without using the registry!

I have been to alot of tech forums where people want to know how to easily find their product key without going through the registry. Here it is.

Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a program that retrieves your product key for you. Follow the instructions below to learn how to use it.

Download the program here: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml. There are several mirrors so you should be able to download if one of the others are down.

1. Open the ZIP file that you have just downloaded.
2. Drag the “keyfinder.exe” out of the ZIP file.
3. Double click to run keyfinder.exe
4. Almost instantly it will show you the version of Windows you are running and your CD Key; which is your Windows product key.

The program allows you to save the information onto a txt document you can easily open with Notepad.

You are able to change the Windows Product Key by Options; Change Windows Key.

I hope this has helped you all a lot of time and effort. Good luck.
