    Simply right click on the Computer icon seen on the desktop to look at
    the system/user information shown there. At the bottom it will show if
    Windows has been activated.

    You may also go to Start - Help and support and type in "windows activation"
    in the search box.

    That also works for the 7 beta as well. [​IMG]

    When tried in 7 all you see is the Q+A links when the help and support
    window appears. The previous methods posted should work in XP through 7
    beta reliably.

    Go to control panel and click on the 'system' icon. At the bottom of the
    system window you should see a section marked 'Windows Activation'. If your
    system has been activated correctly you should see the words 'Windows is
    activated'

    Simply right clicking on the Computer icon seen on the desktop and
    selecting properties brings you to the same screen. That shows the
    version of Windows, what service pack is installed, computer
    administator, work group, and the last portion showing if Windows is
    activated along with the product key.

    When you right click on the desktop in Vista you see the "personalize"
    option in place of "properties" as seen with XP.

    There are a number of ways of accessing the information you want, Control
    Panel>System is the one I use. Right clicking on the desktop does not
    provide a 'properties' option. Instead the 'personalize' option appears
    giving you access to ways of modifying appearance and sound.

    Right-click Computer > Properties.

    And get out of that crappy EggheadCafe and point your newsreader to:
