Is there a way to find out the uptime of an XP system?

C:\>systeminfo
'systeminfo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Uhhh.....actually, that WORKS. Now who is being difficult?

Just input "uptime" at the command prompt.

You can download some uptime.exe file from MS. Maybe you did that and forgot you did that?

PSInfoNot sure why systeminfo wouldn't work for you, but you can just drop that psinfo.exe into your command path, and it will work fine.

systeminfo works great. just checked it out.
uptime 30 days now:Q
(thought it was about 2 weeks... well how time flyes...)

uptime.exe from Microsoft. You can also use it to check the uptime of remote MS servers and machines.

I just download it and put it in the /Windows/System32 directory. Then, when I need to check the uptime of a particular machine, I just go to the command line and type "uptime". Why MS didn't just include this with NT/2K/XP, I don't know.

This is entirely possible
