How long you’ve been running your computer?

This is a very small tweak but an interesting one and sometimes useful too. There may be times when you want to know for how long the computer has been on. Specially, this trick is for the parents who want to know for how long their kids have been hanging up in the computer playing games. Kids may say that they’ve opened the computer just few minutes ago. Kid, it’s time you tell the truth or else Daddy’s gonna be real angry when he finds out that you are lying to him. The command is simple and need to be executed in command prompt (cmd).

1. start -> run

2. type ‘cmd’ (without quotes) and enter

3. In the command prompt, type ‘systeminfo’ and enter

It will give you a list of information. The one you need is System Up Time which is down somewhere. You can also get several other information relating to your system through this command. Just scroll down the information and you will find information about OS manufacturer, version of the OS, processor info., physical and virtual memory, etc. It’s just a line of code just check it out. For advance use of this command type ‘systeminfo /?’ in the command prompt to get the details.
