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]

floppyless=0

msdosinitiated=0

dospath=D:</pre>

    • Can’t say I’m a huge fan on first glance, but quite pleased it’s not too dramatic a departure from the current look.
    • Apple announces iOS 26 with Windows Vista-like 'Liquid Glass' redesign by Taras Buria At WWDC 2025, Apple announced iOS 26, a major software update with the biggest redesign since iOS 7 in 2013. With iOS 26 (other Apple-made operating systems now also carry the number 26 for more unified naming), Apple is introducing "Liquid Glass," a new material across the operating system, featuring Windows Vista-like glass material with translucency, reflections, light refraction, parallax, and more. Here is what Apple's senior VP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, said about the release: The redesigned UI is available on the Lock Screen and Home Screen, giving you more ways to personalize your iPhone and iPad. The Lock Screen can now generate a 3D effect for your photos and keep the most interesting parts of them as you receive notifications. With iOS 26, Apple is introducing new Apple Intelligence capabilities like Live Translation in iMessage, FaceTime, and Phone, allowing users to communicate across languages and translate text on the fly. You can also ask ChatGPT questions about what is happening on the screen, and Genmoji can mix your favorite emojis. Apple also redesigned the Phone app with a new UI and Call Screening feature, which eliminates interruptions by gathering information from the caller to let the user decide if they want to pick up the call. iMessage can filter out messages from unknown callers, set backgrounds for your chats, add polls, and display typing indicators in group chats. Apple Music now features Lyric Translations so you can understand music in foreign languages, and Lyrics Pronunciations will help you sing along regardless of language. Additionally, iOS 26 features a new Apple Games app, a single place for all your games, improved parental controls, new accessibility features, and more. You can read more about iOS 26 in the official announcement post on Apple Newsroom.
    • Just my personal opinion but if that's the way you've listed it, that may be the problem. Put the CPU , graphics card, ram and storage in that order, rest most people don't care or know about
