Hello
I would like to make a program telling me when my computer was started and when it was shutdown for the past 10 days for example.
I am not sure if windows logs the time or is there a way to find the time through another way
What API should I use
Thank you in advance !
Startup / Shutdown time

Hey thanks,
yes that would be one way but there is another way I think.
There is a program called "PcOnOffTime" (www.neuber.com) that does not run as a service, and does not log anything... It uses windows but not sure how it works...

Ho Zoroxeus,
You would that develop a window service to write a log file. Later, you look report's your application.
Good Coding!

most likely API calls, which can be easily achieved, or using the WMI approach.
Import the System.Management.Instrumentation namespace, and add this code to say a button click event:
Dim theScope as new ManagementScope("\\yourComputerName\root\cimv2")
Dim theQueryString as new System.Text.StringBuilder()
theQueryString.Append("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
Dim theObjectQuery as new ObjectQuery(theQueryString.ToString())
Dim theSearcher as new ManagementObjectSearcer(theScope, theObjectQuery)
Dim theCollectionOfResults as new ManagementObjectCollection = theSearcher.Get()
for each theCurrentResult as ManagementObject in theCollectionOfResults
MessageBox.Show(theCurrentResult("LastBootupTime").ToString())
next
