I need to know how to identify a Windows XP installation
by the dates/sizes/version numbers of key files. (I have
the drive set up as slave in a different machine, trying
to recover some files.) Anybody have a handy-dandy list,
or do I have to go through a bunch of different machines
and compile on of my own?

TIA,

Bob
 
Just to clarify: I need to be able to determine the
version installed (i.e. - Home/Professional/SP1/Non-SP1,
etc.)

Thanks.

If you look at the version and modification date of
windows\system32\kernel32.dll the version will be 5.1.2600.0 in August
2001 for RTM XP, and 5.1.2600.1106 in August 2002 for SP1.

If gpedit.msc is present in that folder you have Pro - it is not in Home
