RE: Timing program execution on Windows

Heh...I forgot that I first tried it w/ DIR as well. I had the same realization, that it wouldn't work cause it was a built-in, and that's when I tried ipconfig. Guess I should have mentioned that...;-)

Hmm...
I tried it with DIR

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>.\ntimer.exe dir CreateProcess(dir) failed 2

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>

The problem was that DIR is a builtin.
This works:

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>.\ntimer.exe cmd /c dir  Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is C041-CD44

 Directory of C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools

12/01/2006  11:31 AM    <DIR>          .

Thanks Mark.
