why the hidden key of xp is placed there.
hi friend's
i want to share something with you,
A day before, I am trying to pre-configure my Windows installation disc. I noticed that there is a file located in the disc that has the Product key.
where is it?
1.Open windows explorer and go to the [discdrive]\I386 folder, browse for "Winnt.sif" file and drag it to notepad...
2.there is another file also
search for "unattend.txt" in your cd
*make sure search hidden files and folder is checked in advanced search options.
3.instal tune up..follow this ..
tune up-additional tool-tune up system information-window.
now i want to know why this key is placed there in our os cd.
for maching the key entered by the user or what.
any one have some idea about this.
😁

gaurav.bhorkarAs far as what I know, when you enter the CD-key it is checked by an algorithm and not against a set of keys. So keys are not stored, the algorithm verifying it is run when you enter the key. -
gaurav.bhorkarI checked that file 'unattended.txt'. This is what the first few lines say,
; Microsoft Windows
It is a sample file, hence, the CD key given at the bottom must be a sample, not the original one.
