Re: User logging

Hi,

Is there a way i could see a log of which user logged on when in the
PC?

Does every user have his/her own login, with a password nobody else knows,
and are these accounts members of the local Users group only?
Do users log themselves out of the computer when done with their work?
Does the computer's built-in Administrator account have a password only you
know?

If the above are true, you can enable auditing to see some of what you wish,
but even that may not give you sufficientinformation.

Plus even better if i could see what programs were run by that
user.

Nope.

Do we have such logging facility in XP?

Not for anything besides logins and specific file access if you wish to
enable that (and look through the lengthy logs).

Or could someone
recommend any third party software which could do this?

You might look at some of the "net nanny" programs or keyloggers.

Purpose is to monitor my staff using the office PC. I suspect some
misuse is happening out of office hours.

Thanks for any help.

Hope this helps. However, I must add that if it's after office hours, and
the "misuse" doesn't involve anything illegal, it seems odd to me that you'd
be bothered about this.
