Hi everybody,
This tutorial works for most of games released by Blizzard.
The goal of my post is to explain you how to be able to play your games (actually it works for : StarCraft, StarCraft Battlechest, StarCraft Anthology, Warcraft III, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Warcraft Battlechest, Diablo II, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Diablo II Battlechest, I'm sure It will work for Diablo III and Starcraft II), if you lose the CD, burn the cd-keys,...
Ok, so, for a few months, Blizzard allows to every1 to create :
A Blizzard Account
(for free of course)
I'm gonna explain you every-steps (if you found any problems):

Click on one of them to start the download.
After clicking Windows/Apple, you will automatically download a program :
