Logging who uses your computer
At work we all use laptops (5 of us) WINDOWS XP Home edition, none of
which have passwords (yeah I know but it's my boss!). Anyway, I think someone is snooping around on my PC, I think just looking to see any contacts of mine, notes I've made etc, is there away of knowing if someone has switched my computer on - not necessarily written anything, but just had a look around? I assume there must be some log file somewhere that records when a computer has been switched on |

Logging who uses your computer
Look in the Event Log, you will see that certain events are logged every
time the computer is started. John Paul-the-Pen wrote: At work we all use laptops (5 of us) WINDOWS XP Home edition, none of which have passwords (yeah I know but it's my boss!).

I assume there must be some log file somewhere that records when a computer has been switched on Event Viewer will show you every time the computer is booted. Start; Programs; Administrative Tools; Event Viewer. If you have trouble spotting it, note the time and then do a REstart: Look at Event Viewer for the first event at that time; that's the bootup. |
