Find your Windows Registration Key
Windows 98 Product Registration Key
(Editing the Registry should not be done without backing up your registry first)
Most copies of Windows come with the product registration key printed on the front of the manual or on the CD's case, and without that key there is no way to reinstall Windows if the system gets corrupted.
Using Regedit, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows and click CurrentVersion. Look for the Product Key in the right pane. The value in this data field is the key for your particular copy of Windows.
Write it down and put it somewhere handy - you could tape it to the side of the tower case or bottom of your keyboard.
