A young man asked Morris, an old wealthy man, how he made his money.

Morris took off his glasses and said, “Well, son, it was 1932 during the heart
of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel.

“So I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple
and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.

“The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire
day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system
for a month, by the end of which I’d accumulated the sum of $1.60…..”

Then ..

Then ..

“Then my wife’s uncle Bernie died and left us two million dollars.”

Sometimes we face a problem whereby we need to format a PC but found out that the product key of that PC is missing or can’t be read. So, how to get it back? There are many programs available for extracting the product key from a Windows XP or Vista installation. The only problem is that they generally require the computer to be functional to run. Here, I will show you how you can retrieve the product key with just the ntuser.dat file from the machine.

1. Get the ntuser.dat file from the computer. Location:

  • Windows XP – C:\Documents and Settings\(Username)\ntuser.dat
  • Windows Vista – C:\Users\(Username)\ntuser.dat

*** Where (Username) is the primary account name.

2. Now, you need to be able to view the ntuser.dat file. Try using loadhive.exe. Just run the program and select the ntuser.dat file that you’ve just got.

3. Run regedit. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE you will notice a new sub-key called NTUSER. Starting with NTUSER go to Software > Microsoft > Windows NT > Current Version. In the right window, double-click on DigitalProductID. This is the entry that contains the encoded product key.

4. We want the information in bytes 52 to 66. You can use the chart below for reference. We need the 15 sets of numbers where the 1’s are located.

5. Now that you have the 15 byte encrypted code, you need a decrypter tool to decode those:

6. Walla! You should get your 25 digit Windows product key! Good Luck :)

Ada sorang lelaki bernama Ali, baru buka perniagaan khidmat nasihat. Officenya amat canggih, sederet dengan beberapa ofis yang lain. Ali seorang pakar perunding perniagaan, baru tamat belajar diluar negara, jadi nak mencuba nasib dalam bidang pernigaan, tekad tak mahu kerja ngan orang lain. Ofis dia masih baru, baru renovate la katakan.

Selepas sebulan ofis dibuka, perniagaan Ali masih belum bergerak, sampai sekarang satu bisnes pun tak dapat lagi. Sampai sekarang sorang pun belum pernah singgah kat ofis/kedai dia tu. Ali pening, signboard kat luar ofis dia tu mahal tuuuuu, beribu ringgit. Lobi sambut tetamu canggih tu, cuma belum ada pekerja lagi, Ali sorang2 je handle.

Pada satu hari, ada lelaki masuk kedai dia, apa lagi Ali pun berasa bangga giler, 1st customer la katakan, Ali cepat2 duduk kat meja dia, ambil phone telekom atas meja dia tu, berlakon olok olok bercakap dengan seseorang, saje je nak tunjuk perniagaan dia memang bagus giler, perniagaan ribu2 ringgit. Sambil menyuruh lelaki tu duduk depan dia, dan suruh tunggu kejap kerana dia masih cakap kat phone tu (padahal belakon aje), ini perbualan Ali di telefon.

“Ye Dato’, ooo pasal project tu dato’, saya akan uruskan dato’, ala dato’ bayar kat saya beratus ribu, takkan saya main2 buat kerja ni dato’, lagi pun sudah terlalu banyak perniagaan yang menjadi bukti kejayaan kami, itu dah cukup mengambarkan keberkesanan perkhidmatan kami……ok dato’…baik dato’… Oklah dato’…nanti kita jumpa kat hotel hilton malam ni….ok dato’….bye”

Ali pun meletakkan talipon. Dan mula bersembang dengan lelaki yang duduk terkebil-kebil di depannya tadi, menunggu Ali.

“Ya encik, terima kasih kerana memerlukan khidmat nasihat perniagaan kami, maaf kerana menunggu tadi, maklumlah perniagaan kami terlalu pesat berkembang, tak menang tangan, banyak sangat permintaan. Ya, ada apa yang kami boleh bantu dalam perniagaan encik” tanya Ali.

Lelaki tu menjawab “ Saya technician telekom, nak sambungkan line telepon tu, magic gak encik ni, macamana boleh guna phone kalau takde line.
