Or maybe this one (to obtain your Product Key), if you can still boot to windows:
http://66.102.11.104/searc
Scroll and find "Locate windows product key in the registry"
Select "DOWNLOAD" and install on Desktop.
coral47: didn't see this one in your list, but it's still early morning in these parts and i could have missed it :)

Sorry. This is against EE rules. Try calling Microsoft and asking them for one.
If the computer is still running, try one of these:
Magical Jellybean http://www.magicaljellybea
The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a freeware utility that retrieves your Product Key (cd key) used to install windows from your registry. It has the options to copy the key to clipboard, save it to a text file, or print it for safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Office 97, and Office XP.
< from PeteLong post >
find install key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
ProductKey
or
Open Notepad and copy this exactly as you see it here.
@echo off
start /w regedit /e key.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
type key.txt|find "ProductKey">mykey.txt
del key.txt
Save it on your desktop as key.bat
close notepad and doubleclick key.bat
It will put a text file on desktop named mykey.txt with your key in it.
Also you can open system.dat in Wordpad and use the search function to look for ProductKey
system.dat is in the windows folder.

Product key from DOS
Try this link:

Finding the CD (Product) Key from DOS
If you can't boot into Windows at all, then you can boot with a Startup Disk (CD support is not required) or into Command Mode Only and type the following command:
For 95:
C:\Windows\Command\Find /I "ProductId" c:\windows\system.dat
For 98/Me:
C:\Windows\Command\Find /I "ProductKey" C:\Windows\System.dat
The first line of the screen dump will look like this:
ProductKey XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XX
NOTE: This will not work in Windows XP
