Source and binary included.

This does some nifty little API calls and makes a tray icon. It displays the system uptime (now "System uptime: 4 days, 1 hour, and 40 minutes") to minute precision as the toopltip. I had it to milisecond precision, but when you moused over it, it was gone before you had the chance to look at the tooltip (it deletes+remakes). Anyhow, it updates every 30,000 miliseconds (30s).

Its a set it and forget it program. No message boxes, no ugly form (shown =p). Stick it in your startup folder and enjoy!

Try using CreateWindow, SetTimer, and KillTimer functions. They will greatly increase the efficiency of the program and you don't even need to use a vb-created form

GTC sucks for tracking uptime... unless you reboot constantly.

Hows that? Is there any other way?

Yeah, QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency
