GETTING YOUR WINDOWS REGISTRATION NUMBER
Some day you might have to re-install Windows on your
computer. If you do, you'll need to have the registration
number that Windows asks you for as it's accessing your
CD ROM or your dozen-plus floppy disks. Do you have the
number written down somewhere? If not, you'd better do
so. Here's how you can find out that number without
hunting around for your original documentation:
right-click on My Computer and select Properties from the
context Menu. You will see a screen that shows various
information including "Registered to:" and the
last number in that field is your registration. It is
probably something like this fictitious value:
12345-OEM-1234567-12345.
