Default Event Log Entry for Shutdown and Reboots

Where in the event log do I find entries for the date and time a Windows XP
box reboots or shutsdown?

TIA
John

Default Event Log Entry for Shutdown and Reboots

John

You need to look in the System log.

The start up is fairly obvious as you will see a string of Information
Reports over a period of one / two minutes. At no other time do you see
so many reports over such a short space of time. A Shutdown is not so
obvious but the report below occurs on my system.

Event Type: Information
Event Source: EventLog
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6006
Date: 13/12/2008
Time: 02:01:02
User: N/A
Computer: PC0939
Description:
The Event log service was stopped.
