Hi all,

There is a Windows commandline application called uptime.exe that shows you how long the pc has been on.
More info here:

Don't know if this is what you want...
If you are using XP
click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer.
Click on system node under Event Viewer (local)
Click on menu View=>Find and type say "shutdown"
It will take you to the last entry of shutdown..
You can read more about it in the windows help file...
Hope this is what you wanted?
Actually I've already check on EventViewer. As you said I search like shutdown, restart. But it not give any correct infor. Once I search for shutdown I only found one instance with the source name as USER32. But it's wrong dated. Not the correct one.Quote:

I wonder on this. If that exe can find those details, anyhow should recorded those details locally in somewhere. Do you have any idea about that. That link doesn't provide more details about that.

The event log service cannot be stopped manually and if it crashes then the machine will restart anyway, so you know that whenever you see that event then the machine has started to shut down.
Hope that helps.
as far as i am aware, the event log only stores shutdown info on server systems (2003, 2008, 2000 server)
