ViewKeyXP still works for me, so I don't think it looks at this file.

I have an OEM copy on my laptop, and i do not have the Product key, in my $winnt$.inf file

I will try my system at home, that is a retail version of XP Pro.

I think it might be to do with OEM copies not having the key in that file...??

I'm using Xp Pro (not corp or oem) and it doesn't have my product key in that file, strange.

/edit in windows .net i have this entry in the file

[userdata]

productid=

productkey=

its just left blank, strange indeed

/edit that entry also appears near the top in windows XP Pro as well, strange

This is mine:

<pre>

[setupparams]

floppylessbootpath=no

producttype=winnt

floppyless=0

msdosinitiated=0

dospath=D:</pre>

    • Steam Next Fest is back with demos from hundreds of upcoming games to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June showcase week is just behind us, and Valve has timed its latest demo event to land right after it. The June edition of the 2025 Steam Next Fest has just gone live, and that means PC gamers have another classic trade show experience to witness. The festival is once again hosting hundreds of gameplay slices from upcoming games. While the majority of demos are by indie developers showing off their work, several major publishers are involved in the festivities to show off their wares too. If you tuned into the plethora of game showcase events last week, there should be plenty of titles you recognize from the demos. The newly opened event can be accessed from its dedicated Steam Next Fest hub page over here. It features handy categories to sort through by genre, theme, and feature, while also offering a very intricate filtering system to remove or focus on specific types of games. Some demos that have already begun trending for this edition of Steam Next Fest include Stellar Blade, Jump Ship, Pioner, Dead as Disco, Escape from Duckov, Wildgate, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Neon Abyss 2, and so much more. "We host Next Fest three times a year (February, June, October) as a way to give developers from around the world a captive audience for their demos on games they haven't released yet," says Valve about its recurring event. "If you already have a bunch of genres that are your faves, feel free to search that way. BUT we also encourage you to try something new." The June 2025 edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 16 at 10 AM PT. For those wanting some discounted games, keep in mind that following this event, Valve will officially kick off the massive 2025 Steam Summer Sale on June 26. Find the complete schedule for Valve's upcoming Steam sales and events for the year here.
    • I haven't lately, but I just looked them up quickly. They look decent at a glance, why? Lots of hate? You're absolutely right, you'll never please everybody due to life being about compromises, but I really don't think they're pleasing anyone. I can't think of a single "good" feature of he Win11 start menu - something useful that is quicker to access at the expense of something else. The only things that are quick to access are recommended (which is totally useless) and your username, which would be useful if it didn't require two clicks to do anything with. I don't need to log off these days as I'm no longer a student using shared computers, but WinXP let you log off with one click almost 20 years ago, rather than click, move mouse to a tiny button, click.
    • AH the memory, one thing that impressed me at 1st glance for Vista is their Aero theme...The glass like feel, the UI... Then...FIASCO. Win 10 and 11 should have expand the Aero theme more from Win7 but oh well...
