| 584296 | 2007-08-24 11:54:00 | I am suspicious of someone logging into my PC at work. What ways are there to check this? Windows XP pro | yorkshirekid (9033) | ||
| 584297 | 2007-08-24 12:16:00 | Do you have a password on your PC at work? How are you suspicious of someone logging into your PC at work?? (It could be your IT staff?) |

| 584298 | 2007-08-24 12:33:00 | Yes, I have a password. Yes, it could be the staff but I want to know if it is. They say not. I just want to check on their honesty. | yorkshirekid (9033) | ||
| 584299 | 2007-08-24 12:36:00 | What makes you think someone has logged into your account? Has any files been moved/out of place? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 584300 | 2007-08-24 12:47:00 | Questions - questions - no answers? Come on guys............... Because it was turned on and I turned it off. And, 'cos it is running really slow now. It was fine previously. |

If yes than check under whos name its logged in as. If it wasnt logged in than just have a look at the log on screen and see what was the last username that was used to log into the system. |

| 584303 | 2007-08-24 13:31:00 | Yeah, apsatty's got it. Have a look in your event viewer, which you;ll find under Control Panel/Administrative Tools. Check the System Log, that'll tell ya when any login attempt was made and which username was used. Pretty boring reading otherwise. |

| 584304 | 2007-08-24 19:24:00 | Thanks - already tried that. I can't see any log that specifically shows a user log-in. Am I missing something? Try your own first to see if I'm wrong? | yorkshirekid (9033) | ||
| 584305 | 2007-08-24 19:42:00 | Well unless you've got access like the IT staff if you have any. I doubt you'll find out. Altho it doesnt sound like any of the "functions" on these computers are limited / disabled. Since you can get into Event Viewer. |
