Product Key

Deke40 · 28-Jun-2002, 03:07 PM #1

Copy and paste the following into notepad, and save it as productkey.js

var WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); var ProductKey = WSHShell.RegRead("HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Produ ctkey"); WSHShell.Popup(ProductKey, 0, "Windows 98 Product CD Key", 64);

Then, go to where you saved it and double click on it.

what does this do and what is it good for

For people who loose their Product Key and don't know where to find it in the registry this gives them an icon to click on which gives them the key. Not earth shattering I know.

Well I tried to do the product key thing and guess what? It didn't work for me. I did what you guys said. The only thing I changed was, I put it in word pad instead of note pad that I couldn't find for some reason. And I named the file for word pad productkey,js
Now what am I doing wrong?

I always have to fight with this stuff before it works for me. Good thing nobody is waiting for me to invent this stuff.
