Default Any tools to monitor activity for XP?

Does anyone have any suggestions on any tools on XP with SP3 keep record on
activities for XP? such as copying files, running application, accessing
internet. I know Event Viewer, but it does not contain the log for copying
files
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Does Key logger only record any keyboard activity?
Can it record copy and paste files using mouse?
Can it record what application is being used at specific time?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

"Keylogger" is a generic term for hardware and/or software that records
keystrokes and/or mouse activities and/or "all users activity on the
PC." Some are free, some are for sale, and some are malware. You need to
do some research on what's available and compare it to what you want to
do. Here are some places to start:

There are gobs of monitoring files around. Here are a few you can look up
with google; they do about what their names imply:

filemon
regmon
diskmon
portmon
procman (process monitor)
startup monitor
pagefilemon
tcpview
ip lan wan finder
and many more. By the time you've found those you will also have found a
plethora of others. Happy googling.

HTH,

lem's post has provided
some useful links.

what you are liking
seeking is a method
to spy and there are
a number of methods
to help you.

incidentally, keep in mind
that any spyware you may
end up choosing may be
inhibited by any anti-
virals installed on the
system.

I don't know or care about "lem", but nothing I recommended was spyware of
any kind and won't include spyware if it's downloaded from reputable web
sites. Those are very useful trouble-shooting tools and that's all they are.
You'd be hard pressed to use them for spying on any machine that has any
modicum of Security installed.
Some of the sources as SysInternals (now MS), SourceForge, ElderGeek, and
similar places; I don't recall which is which or even if that list is all
inclusive. There is a monitor available for just about any part of a
computer one wishes to monitor. SIW is another I left out of the list as is
WinPatrol and afew others.

HTH,

Twayne`

Chill out, Twayne. I wasn't writing about anything you posted (I posted
to this thread before you did). I was responding to the OP's question
about "key loggers" -- a topic which was first raised by "db."

No problem Len. I no longer recall the details but someone linked us somehow
and all I meant was I wasn't speaking for you nor vice-versa. IIRC someone
said something about the products like you and I recommended containing
spyware . Since the reference was snipped out I chose to add a bit of
separation, that's all. Personally I don't recall what you said so I needed
to be careful of speaking for you. That's all.

HTH,
