Boing! You could look for a tool called 'KeyFinderThing' - think it's .NET based, but can retrieve the key for Windows and some other products. I have used it in a very similar scenario (license key sticker had been scratched too much).

Hello all: I have a WinXP box that needs a re-install. I lost the license key (but it is a totally legitimate installed copy). I go into Windows Explorer and click Help/About, but that does not display the key. How can I go about displaying this key so I can do a virgin re-install? Thanks. -- Matthew H.
