Subject: WinXP Login Logs


Suddenly here in my work, some PCs are being turned on by "ghosts"
during night/clean periods and they are being used! How can I know the
last person who logged in? Are there some kind of login logs in win
xp?

Hi,

I've had the same problems before. Namely looking at the phonebill and
finding that the
pc had been dialling out on a premium rate number. What puzzled me was the
client had
left the machine turned off and the times of dialling out - no-one was
physically in the
premesis. I checked the modem logs to find out if, indeed, the pc had been
dialling out
and yes, it had.

I too would be interested in any information the list members may have about
this.
