I thought that Windows XP (I think it is XP Pro, SP3) had one folder that stored all of your software product key/registration/license numbers? If so, which folder is it and where is it located? Thanks for any help!

Do you mean to look for those titles as directories or folders? I could not find any with those names.
Several years ago, I remember printing out the information in a folder on my old computer that had all of my software product registration numbers in one place - when I had to reinstall everything on a new computer, I had the numbers handy. I have a friend who needs to reinstall some legal programs and does not have the original CDs - he needs the Product ID number to get his programs reinstalled. I am pretty sure that I had XP back then.
Thanks again, Bob, for your help.
