WinXP uptime question

In Win98se, under system information (start/accessories/system tools...) it tells you how long a pc has been running. But WinXP's system info doesn't show it? How can I tell how long a WinXP maching has been running?

there is a command line you can enter in, and it will tell you that information, but i can't remember what that is at the moment, so i just gave you another alternative.

I tried that tip from glc's link and it seems to only work with XP Pro. XP Home says it's a non-recognized command.

This is a great little utility that I install on any pc I can get my hands on:

StatBar is a freeware system status bar which provides a handy, orderly overview of your system's condition. StatBar comes with 6 different color schemes and 19 information modules, allowing you to monitor and control various aspects of your system. This includes memory, CPU and disk usages, system uptime, Winamp control, network throughput, Internet time synchronization, and more. It features a built-in update check as well, which can download and install the latest version for you.
