Re: How to change cd key
It's just named "key". Windows determines file type by extension, so it doesn't really have one. Probably displays as just "File". It might be hidden?
If you're on Vista, it might get put in the Virtual Store.

Re: How to change cd key
If you can't find the file (e.g. you don't know what the virtual store is), you could also reinstall to a new location like c:\Dominions3. It always looks for the key file in the game directory, so it would overlook your old, bad key file.

Re: How to change cd key
Windows doesn't recognize what program it is, but just right click on it and open with wordpad/notepad
for me, the key is under C:\Program Files\dominions3
you just have to look carefully for it
then just type in the new one

Or just delete it. Dominions will ask for the cdkey when you start it again.
