How do I find out the origin of my computer's OS birth?

There was a run command I learned some time ago that allowed you to view the computer's stats (current uptime, install OS date, etc.). I seem to have forgot it. Can someone here clarify for a noob.

Thanks🙂

i think that tells you your windows version ie. 5.1.2600 if you run that in dos.

i can't think of anything... is this for xp? 98?
 
there was also an uptime command for Windows NT 4 and 2000 that i believe was available from their resource kits.

Rt click on windows and go to properties.

Shows date created.

If you reinstalled it, all bets are off.

Setuplog.txt shows the install.

Where did you find that? I just did a file search and turned up empty.
 
Look in C:\WINDOWS\ you should see a setuplog.txt and at the top in the file it will say something like
Time,File,Line,Tag,Message
11/21/2005 15:08:43.093,d:\xpsprtm\base\ntsetup\syssetup\syssetup.c,6434,BEGIN_SECTION,Ins
alling Windows NT

Sorry, I can't find it. Anyway, my method seems to work. Thanks for the info.
 
systeminfo does nothing for me. I'm in Windows XP Home Edition.

I've run it in the command line, in the prompt, in the prompt in C:\Windows\System32 and yet still nothing happens.

Bingo, best choice.

Systeminfo responds with:

Loading Operating System Information ...
ERROR: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
 
Systeminfo works for me but I can't read any of it 🙁

How do I get it so i can scroll up and down and acually read some of it?
