How to tell when you installed.

Recommended Posts

Where do you go to find out the date of your windows 2k install? I install windows on dozens of computers a week and need to find out when I did an install on a particular box, the exact date.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

How about this; Right click on C:\WINNT in explorer, choose properties, and look for the create date... It's accurate for me, anyway, last installed April 26th...

If you installed Norton antivirus on the same day you could look at when your subsription runs up.

The date setting in the registry for the installation date of the OS for NT is located in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\InstallDate". The values displayed are the following example: 0x39c24d62(969035106).

 

InstallDate REG_DWORD Time (in seconds) since 12:00 A.M. on January 1, 1970

Stores the date and time that the current build of Windows NT was installed. For example, Monday, January 01, 1996, 12:00:00 AM would be 0x30E76A50 (820,472,400 seconds).
