How Long Has Your System Been Running?

Here's how you verify system uptime:

Click Start | Run and type cmd to open a command prompt.
At the prompt, type systeminfo

Scroll down the list of information to the line that says System Up Time.

This will tell you in days, hours, minutes and seconds how long the system has been up.

Note that this command only works in XP Pro, not in XP Home. You can, however, type net statistics workstation at the prompt in Home. The first line will tell you the day and time that the system came online.Enjoy!!!

Lock/Hide Your Folder in Windows XP without Any Software

Sometimes you have some data you want to save from your friends, you dont want to use any Folder lock software. Then in that case what will you do?
Well here is a simple solution. Suppose you have a folder “TEST”, and you want to lock it
Follow the instructions below.:
1. First try it out on an empty folder in case something goes wrong. So first create a folder in drive C , for example name it as “secret-files” without the quotes.
2. Next, open your command prompt ( Start > Run > type “cmd” in the Run box without the quotes )
3. Within the command prompt, type “attrib +s +h C:\secret-files” ( without the quotes )

4. This command will make your folder completely invisible and it can not be seen even in hidden files and folders. Try search for the folder, I am sure it returns no result. It’s cool right?
5. To make the folder visible again type “attrib -s -h C:\secret-files”
6. And of course you can lock other folder too, by changing the location C:\secret-files to address of your folder.
