Windows uptime
I learned something interesting today. If you have ever wondered what the uptime is of your Windows machine, simply drop to a command prompt and enter the following:
net statistics server | more
-or-
net statistics workstation | more
You’ll see a line that says “Statistics since .” This is quite accurate - the alternative I’ve always used prior to this was downloading the Windows NT: Uptime.exe utility. The utility, provided by Microsoft, says that it’s only supported on Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. But, it does in fact work on Windows XP, and I suspect it’ll work on Windows 2003.

Im afraid that I am going to have to ask to the source code for Windows Media Player before I run this atrocious command. That and i dont think I avhe enough system memory or a large enough page size to determine the number of minutes my computer has been on…
