Sorry to dredge this up from the deep but I sure would not mind seeing a Windows Install Date Thingy "gadget" for Windows 7!  :D

Thanks lanox and tomos.
* btw, do you happen to hang out/help at the castlecops forums?
just tried to go there for a look now but thing's moving incredibly slowly there at the mo
Yes, that's me - well, Bill_Bright is me. And yes CastleCops is running slow (still/again - in fact, they appear to be down again this morning - :().

As for the alive times being off - what can I say? If Uptime knows when I last rebooted, then it seems the alive times should be right. I just wonder how many folks have encountered a Windows PC that has been running for more than 3 months without a reboot. ;)

Hi folks, new to here, but not IT. And a HW guy - don't do code - so I don't have much to contribute, but questions and observations.

I joined to comment on this program - I like it, first off and it works great on my XPPSP2 system. Thanks for providing it, Ralf.

But I have my dad's old XPHomeSP2, XP2500+ I built in November 2002 sitting in the dungeon of my basement crunching BOINC units, and it refuses to die - or even stumble. Note the discrepancies between Microsoft's Uptime (which is correct, BTW -  :D) and Windows Install Date "thingie" below:

The Install date for that system is correct. However, last I checked, November 2002 plus 6 years 5 months equals May 2009 - I don't think we are there yet.

Also, it will be interesting to see what happens in ~33.6 hours (note the -2014 minutes) - I wonder how it knows I will reboot then? ;)

I look forward to V1.2.
