Possible to locate WEP in windows xp

Hello
I was helping a friend yesterday add a wireless laptop to his home
network.
We had to logon to his WAP to get the 64bit wep which was not easy
because he initially could not remember his password to get into the
WAP.
I was just wondering would there had been a way that I could have
retrieved this from one of his other machines that was on that network?
Just curious?

If one of the other machines was XP and the driver for the card was
installed using the O/S Device Manager, which you can configure the card
there too for WEP etc etc, you could have gotten that information there.
