The systeminfo Command

Windows XP has a useful command for quick access to a lot of system information at the command line. It’s called “systeminfo” and it’s a very useful, little known command. I encourage any Windows user to become familiar with this command since it offers a wealth of summary information all in one place.

Give it a try, at the command prompt type:

systeminfo

If you’d like to save the output as a file, say for auditing purposes:

systeminfo > systeminfo.txt

This is particularly useful for scripting purposes, however this command does take a while to execute so keep that in mind.
