hi all,

sorry if this has been discussed before - i couldnt find it.

anyway i was wondering if it is possible to change the existing serial key on win xp pro for another one without having to do a re install et etc

ie run a prog or find where the file is and then just edit it.

thanks for the help.

hi thanks for the very quick reply - during the time i posted i found out about magic jellybean - and it does work ( unlike rock xp), but the keys i have at the moment dont work .............. but work has bought about 10 new comp all running xp pro and they have kindly left the serial stickers on!
