Where is my account ID stored?

Mon Mar 08, 2004 8:57 am by Yumiko

I reinstalled WinXP recently on a secondary drive because the registry on my primary drive corrupted.

Now I'm trying to run Freelancer (I didn't reinstall it, just trying to run freelancer.exe from where it is on my hard drive). But it wants me to enter a new multiplayer account ID.

How can I get the old one? Is it stored in a file, or the registry? I think it's stored in Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Games\Freelancer, and I tried copying that whole directory tree over, but it still wants me to enter a new multiplayer account ID.

Which just reads the following regkey: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0\", but since it asks you for it the regkey is problably gone... Sorry.

this isnt much help now, but if u ever have to reinstall, u can view and write down ur acct ID by inserting the FL disc. ur acct ID is displayed on the autorun window.

or, theres an option in FL (i forget where, but i used it once) to print out ur ID code. useful for hard drive wipers. like me.

Orillion: So trent, will you help us with the mission?

Trent: Sure, as long as I'm not shot at, knocked out, held at gunpoint, electrocuted, skewered alive by giant alien shapeshifters, have to dive out windows, or fight off spindly nomad incubi.
