Empire Earth II Registry Files Question
Okay, here's the deal. I legitimately purchased Empire Earth II, installed it, had a great time, and then stopped playing it. Somewhere in that process I managed to lose the instruction manuel with the CD key on the inside.
Now my issue is this: I only have a 40 GB harddrive, and as such I have to delete files with some regularity, and seeing as EE II is around 3 GB it's slated for deletion, but before that I'd like to see if there's some way of garnering the CD key from the installed copy of the game so that I can preserve it and not have to get another copy.
I've heard people talk about how this is possible via some sort of registry file that's created by the game when it's installed, but I neither have any clue as to how to go about finding this file, much less how to extract the actual code. I've tried sifting through the installation directory itself, however, failing both that and a google search, I thought that I might appeal to the 'ol OTF for some help.
I'd really appreciate it guys, thanks in advance :afro:
