P.S.

winver opens a new window to display windows version and can be run
from Start button "Run" or from a command window

ver can only be run from a command window or a batch file

All that does is repeat the same information when you open the command
line interface. :-)

Presumably, the OP is already running Windows XP (since he is posting to
a Windows XP newsgroup). I believe his question had more to do with how
does he know if it's Home or Pro, 32-bit or 64-bit.

To OP: Why does this have to be ascertained by using the Command Line?
