Is there a way to locate the original installation Date

[Guest]

Is there a way to locate the originaly installation date of Windows?

It's in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\InstallDate

The decimal value represents seconds since or after January 1, 1970.
You can get utilities to do the calculations for you, like this one:

If you have WinXP Pro, from the command prompt, type "systeminfo"
(without the quotes) and press enter.
