Is there a way to find out how long Windows 2000 xp has
been running since it was last booted?
 
To my knowledge...

In Windows XP, open a DOS window and enter:

net statistics workstation
or
uptime

In Windows 2000, open a DOS window and enter:

uptime
 
UPTIME is not a valid command on Windows XP or on Windows 2000. The UPTIME
utility needs to be manually installed for it to run.

Aside from Mark's suggestion about NET STATISTICS WORKSTATION from a command
line, you can also type SYSTEMINFO from a command line. This will provide
you with a large amount of information about your system, including it's
uptime.

Also, if you're connected to a LAN or some other kind of network, you may be
able to determine your uptime by examining the status of the network
connection. Assuming the connection was made when the system started up
(and hasn't been broken since), the Duration of the network connection can
be used to determine the approximate uptime of the system.

UPTIME exists on my WinXP Home Edition and did not install anything special
to get that external command.
 
Hi Mark,

It may exist, but it's not native to WinXP (Home or Pro). It had to have
come from somewhere else.

Another tool - get the free Aida 32, enterprise edition from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32
which is an excellent general System Info tool, which will tell you
almost everything possible - including the Product Key used to install
Windows and ones for several other items.
