How can you know XP up time?

In Win98SE, ME, and I believe 2K there was a small clock located somewhere that tracked how long it'd been since a system was last rebooted. Anyone know how to access it / find it in XP--or if it even exists?

well a cheesy way to do it is check task manager and see the cpu time for "Idle Processes"

You can go to microsoft's website, do a search for "UPTIME" . . its a little command line utility that works in NT, 2k, and XP . .. it tells you how long the system has been up.

Its on their site somewhere . . .

EDIT: Here it is!!

EDIT Again:
Under Win9x . . just run msinfo32.exe it tells you the uptime.

If the machine is on a network, just go to control panel, network connections, local area connection. Under the general tab it shows duration. That should be accurate unless you disable and restart the network.
