How long since XP was last booted?

[Vance Roos]

I seem to recall that somewhere there is a timer sayinghow manyhouse
XP has been in use ever since it was installed.

Is there anything in XP which will tell me how much tme has passed
since XP was last booted?

Your question intrigued me since I don't recall hearing how to do this
and this is something that is *big* in the Linux world (another world I
have interest in). Searching Google for "uptime xp" the first hit back
found
http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/windowstips/story/0,24330,3405482,00.html
which suggests using the "net statistics workstation" commmand. Works.
Returns at the top of the output:

"Statistics since 10/13/2003 7:18 AM"

which is the date/time of the last boot. Based on my recollection this
is probably right for my laptop.

Yep that's your uptime

1- Open your command prompt by going to Start > Run and
typing "cmd" without the quotes.
2- Type at the prompt, again without quotes, "net
statistics workstation" and hit enter.
3- The first information you see will tell you how long
the computer has been on.

There are third party solutions as well - try a search on
Google for uptime.exe or one of the download sites to get
one with a nice clock GUI

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,

Its Operating System - Current Session - Uptime will tell you.

And much else of interest - notably Software - Licenses page will tell
you the Product Key used for Windows and ones for several other items.

Open a command prompt window and enter systeminfo

One of the items listed is System UpTime

Is there also a way of finding out the total number of hours which XP
has been up for ever since it was installed?

No - Aida will tell you the date of installation (of the latest one - if
you you a 'repair reinstall' it will be that date. But there is no
record of the length of each session earlier than the current one, so no
way of knowing how much time spent switched off, nor of the number of
reboots
