Windows installation date
Is there a utility or something within XP that allows you to see when it was first installed? I'm curious as to how long I've been running with this particular installation.

Re: Windows installation date
There is. Wish I could remember how to launch it or what to put in but I know it can be done from a cmd prompt. Sorry I'm not more help there. lol

Re: Windows installation date
Check the "Date Created" field for your Windows\System32 folder

Re: Windows installation date
You can also type "systeminfo" in cmd line.

Re: Windows installation date
systeminfo.exe fetches the wrong install date for me:
Original Install Date: 2005-05-07, 17:24:05 Whereas psinfo.exe (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896649.aspx) gets me the correct date: Install date: 2009-10-09, 17:49:02 Why is this? Any clues? I searched the systeminfo.exe given date string on Google and got some hits, why this date? What's special about it? Regards~ |

Re: Windows installation date
Maybe the systeminfo takes in account any SP's installed?

Re: Windows installation date
I didn't read the last post date. It just came up on my "Unread posts since last visit" list so I assumed it was current.
