In Windows XP Professional is there log file that will keep track of all key entry and show which program is using at any given date and time?

I am trying to find any un-authorized user of my computer at certain date and time.

Is there such program I can purchase to track down any un-authorized user or entry?

Hope you have LOTS of room for logger.
Computer lock-down is the best defense to unauthorized use. Just make sure you keep the password difficult to crack and DO NOT forget it.

Or, you could enable Guest account and set it up to allow minimal use, then when you leave the computer just log off.

Or, spend the BIG bucks and purchase a forensics program to dig out all hidden information that exists on every machine. These are fun programs but very expensive and hard to obtain.

Good luck and I hope you catch the person violating your computer.

Try this site: http://www.spectorsoft.com SpectorPro will do what you want and much more (key strokes, programs run, screen snapshots, sites visited, etc etc. All usage data can be retreived from another networked computer. I've used this program before with excellent results. It won't track down past computer usage but will do what you need for future un-authorized entry
