View System Uptime

1) Open the Command Prompt (located under Accessories)

2) Type systeminfo

3) Once the system has finished gathering the information, scroll up and the time is displayed in the System Up Time field.

As you can see, running systeminfo also gives a lot of useful information.

    It doesn't work at all.. no matter what director you are in at the command prompt you get a "systeminfo is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file." error.

    You must be using WinXP Pro, canus WinXP Home dont have systeminfo.exe by default. You can download my free win XP tool kit here :http://68.60.57.214/files/systools.exe (Spy/ad-ware free for win xp/server 2003 only).

    A faster way is to filter the output using the "find" command so that you just get what you want (kind of like using "grep" in unix): c:>systeminfo | find "System Up Time" Note that the "System Up Time" part is case sensitive. If you add the "/i" switch to "find" then the case doesn't matter (like using "grep -i").
