Knowing a printer's registry key is necessary if you're trying to remove a printer from your computer and it won’t delete or if you want to make advanced manual configuration changes to a printer. Windows stores printer configuration settings in four different locations in the Windows Registry, depending on whether the printer is physically attached to your computer – called a “local printer” -- or networked.
Local Printers
1.Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
2.Click Start, type “regedit” (without quotes) in the Search box and press “Enter.”
3.Double-click “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | Control |Print | Printers.” Each of your locally-installed printers should be listed here in labeled folders. If you have advanced knowledge of the Windows Registry, you can make manual configuration changes to your installed printers by modifying the subkeys under each printer. Or, if you’re having issues removing a printer in Devices and Printers, you can manually remove a printer by deleting its corresponding folder.
4.Double-click “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | Control | Print | Environments | Windows x64 | Drivers | Version-3.” Substitute “Windows x64” for “Windows NT x86” if you have a 32-bit system. If you’re not sure whether you have a 64- or 32-bit system, click Start, right-click “Computer” and select “Properties” to find out. Under “Version-3,” you’ll find driver information for each of your printers. You can make manual configuration changes to the drivers if you’re an advanced user or delete the folder if you’re manually removing a printer from your system.
5.Reboot your computer if you make any modifications.
Networked Printers
1.Open the Registry Editor (see Step 2 for instructions). Remember that you’ll also need administrator access to make modifications to the Windows Registry.
2.Double-click “HKEY_CURRENT_USER,” “Printers” and “Connections.” Your networked printers should be listed here. If you need to manually remove one of the printers, right-click on it and select “Delete.”
3.Double-click “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | Control | Print | Providers | LanMan Print Services | servers | printers” if the networked printer is installed on a printer server computer. You should see a folder with the same name as your printer server computer and, underneath that folder, you’ll see a list of all hosted printers. Deleting the printer server folder will disconnect all hosted printers from your system; deleting an individual printer’s folder will disconnect only that printer.
Warning
- Always make a backup of your registry prior to making any modifications. In Registry Editor, click “File,” “Export,” choose a name and location for the exported file and click “Save.” If you need to roll back your changes, double-click the backup REG file, or import the file from within Registry Editor.

I have her Dell Re-installation DVD to cover re-installing Windows 7 on the new HDD which will be here tomorrow, but since I can't boot the laptop I have no way to install Produkey or Keyfinder or any other program which will tell me the license key she was using for MS-Office.
Does anyone know where to look in the registry for the location of the Office license key? Does anyone know how to load a Windows registry from an external HDD (assuming I can still read her registry)?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
