Why are you trying to make a form of hack as your first project?

First of all, do you know how generally the CD-key can be changed?
(without any specific technology eg. C# in mind)

I heard somewhere that it is in the fonts folder in the mpq, probably garbage but maybee worth a try (ahh pls don't ban me im not a hacker :))

Well, I do have a program that can change the CD Key... I personally don't think it's that bad to change the CD Key. I mean, it's easier than having to reinstall - and it helps if you have more than one person in your family (or whatever) that wants to play BNet at the same time you do, but you both have the same CD Key.

Edit: I did some searching on some forums, and apparently the cd key is stored in the registry. That might help.

Because its not there?

At least in D2 it was stored in an MPQ, so i guess they did the same thing with WC3
