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]

    • Elon Musk once again claims Tesla robotaxis are coming soon by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has announced a tentative start date of June 22 for the company's long-awaited public robotaxi service. According to a post on his social media platform X, the initial launch will be in Austin, Texas. Musk added a significant condition, however, saying "We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift." The service is expected to begin with just 10 to 20 Model Y SUVs operating within a limited area and with remote human supervision. He also mentioned a plan starting June 28 for new Teslas to drive themselves from the factory to a customer's home. This is a moment many are probably waiting for, though it comes with a heavy dose of skepticism. Musk has made grand promises about self-driving before. This robotaxi network brings to mind the bold claims from all the way back in 2019 when the company said a similar service would launch the following year. That evidently did not happen. Federal regulators also have their doubts. Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration criticized Tesla for making its "Full Self-Driving" feature sound more capable than it actually is, demanding the company align its marketing with reality. Tesla is also driving into a field that is no longer empty. Waymo, Google's sibling company, is already a major player, offering hundreds of thousands of paid rides per week across Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Austin. The company is so far ahead that it has begun testing in Tokyo. But being ahead means Waymo is also the first to face certain dangers. For example, on the evening of June 8, a group of protesters in downtown Los Angeles summoned Waymo vehicles during a demonstration. When the vehicles arrived, they slashed the tires, smashed the windows, and spray-painted the cars before setting three of them on fire. Which raises a thorny question for Tesla: if you can summon a car with no one inside, can you summon it just to destroy it? It's one thing for protesters to stumble upon a robotaxi and vandalize it; it's another for someone to use the app to call a driverless car to a secluded spot for a planned attack. With public sentiment around Musk so divided, especially given his DOGE shenanigans and his recent face off with Donald Trump, that's not just a theoretical problem. We've already seen this hostility play out in attacks where people vandalize Teslas, carving swastikas into them and spray painting slogans like "Burn More Teslas" on walls.
    • This is actually quite useful. But why wouldn't they implement this in the local file system? The code is obviously all there now... maybe in 5 years.
    • The new "Story Cards" in the Software section are nice, but I wish they had the product icon included. I use this section to identify updates for software that I use regularly, and it's sometime difficult to identify the software without the product icon. Thanks for your consideration. pelaird
    • Mozilla really needed to focus on their core product for a while now. I will not mourn the death of pocket or AI garbage. One thing they don't do that I believe they should is advertise more, and not just to their core audience, especially their additional services. Let people know they actually exist.
