History Log

~~andrew.lvp~~ · 03-22-2007, 05:46 AM

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me how I could see the computer history log. I mean a document telling me what someone has done on this computer previously. So if a stranger went on google, I want to be able to know exactly what he typed on google and everything.

It would be much appreciated, thankyou.

No such history log exists. the closest thing to what you want is the browser history, which would show the pages visited, but not what was typed to get there

I was once told of something that recorded exactly what you did...
Like when you delete a file, it will be recorded, no such thing?

That's possible but it requires third party software to track that type of usage, it's not an inherent part of an OS. TSF does not support these issues.

Deleted files can be recovered using the recycle bin or with third party recovery software that can be used after the fact. This type of software doesn't impact privacy rights

So there is simply no XP feature that lets me see what has been going on in this computer?

Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system info>view tab>system history

That's the only tracking that's done in XP. It does not supply the info you are looking for. That info does not exist
