A small freeware program to do this called Keyfinder .You can find your license number of Windows . Keyfinder will display the License # for your Windows XP / Office and you can change it if necessary. This little program allows you to find your key Windows XP, this can be very useful if you want to reinstall your system and can not find the famous key, plus it can also recover the key XP remote machines on a network and recover the Key to Microsoft Office.

There are several methods you can use to uncover a lost product key for a version of Windows that you currently have installed. Manually locating the Windows XP product key from the registry is nearly impossible due to the fact that it's encrypted. Alternatively, there are also some free scripts and freeware software programs that can help you:
