Find out the last day the computer was turn on

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

May not hold up in court but ....

either look at System Restore and (assuming it is working properly) note any
dates/times which *may* be of significance,

or look for the rb0*.cab (consecutive series) of files in your C:\Windows
sub-folders and again, look for significant dates.

There are 'normally' up to 5 of theses files, each one being generated at
the very first boot in any single day - so you *may* even be able to
determine the time as well as the date.

Hope that helps and good luck.
