JSI Tip 2724. The BIOS revision date is stored in the Windows 2000 registry?

When Windows 2000 boots, it enumerates the computer BIOS.

In tip 2552, I decribed where Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 stores BIOS information.

Windows 2000 also stores the BIOS revision date in the SystemBiosDate value name, a string (REG_SZ) data type at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Biosinfo
