Account Logging

I have a computer running Win XP Pro and have multiple accounts set up for various people that use the computer(this computer is at work and I take care of it).

Does Windows Offer a service that will log what a user does once he logs into his account. I know that theres a lot of spy software, but all I really need is just something to tell me if settings are being changed ect.

Aslo is there anyway that I can set up a policy on a non networked computer telling what users can and cannot access on the hard drive.

well... that will have something to do with the Privacy.
If, u really want to, I think a trojan may help u

on a non networked computer, if you dont want them accessing the hard drive then dont give them a account on it or disable their account. Pretty easy

whatttt???? are u insane ...tellin people to use trojans ....whewwww

hey cheyenne1212 ...if this is any help...use a keylogger ... i got one that tells you what windows the open and stuff .... i know thats not much help ... but for the start its not bad...i attached the keylogger with this post ... :)

and Darksnake .... he said more user are using his comp... so if he disabled their accounts they woul have to use his account ...the one with admin rights...so that kind of the same thing .....

also cheyenne1212 a good option is to disable admin rights on their account ...make their right limited ... so they can NOT change or remove any software ....

LOL @ Boomwoody! I beleave Cheyenne1212 wants something similair to this...

Most of the keyloging capabilities in trojans are limited to only loging pressed keys... anways while he's clicking files the key logs will only show something like this [/LC] which sometimes represents that the left mouse button has been clicked. Hell many keyloging trojans are so cheaply coded that it won't even log the keys pressed on the mouse & BTW Not all trojans sit around and wait for a intruder to send commands to it either... sometimes they can be very harmfull. :mad:

Wooooooooooooooooow, a keylogger!
that must be wot u called "Aren't Insane" , right? =P

I beleave that was a lame attempt at sarcasm, am I correct? Its better to be a little insane then to live without a brain. Hahaha and I suppose you think your 'leet' sub7 servers are alot better 'eh?

=)

wot I was trying 2 say is trojan's not always something bad, that depends on the way u use it.

hoho

I do not feel it is necessary to add to the comments by Memory and |The|Specialist

Trojans are bad.... mmmmmk?

boomwoody, how is using a Trojan good, at any time? It opens up your system for anyone to hack. And usually if a computer is networked, it has access to the Internet. So that would usually lead into having people from the outside be able to break in. But nonetheless, putting a Trojan on a computer is a BIG seciruty issue. Though I would like to hear your side and have you prove me wrong, logically, if you don't mind.

Memory in response to you, I misunderstood his question....simple enough
Cheyenne to limit what a user can access on the hd after they log in, all you have to do it modify the folder permissions so that they dont have rights to view/edit the contents of that folder. In XP pro right click on the folder goto properties, then the security tab. Click on the user whose permissions you want to change and change them the way you see fit.

There are morons, then there are utter morons..... And then there's Boomwoody......

Boom old chap....... without reverse engineering the code, (which I am sure you are quite capable of doing.... ;) ) how exactly are you going to determine what your nice little Trojan will do, read the l33t warez instructions??????

I've seen some stupid things in my time but....... well, lets just say that was up there!!!!!!

I'll use that keylogger and I will modify the folder permissions. The folder permissions is more what I was looking for. Sorry it tooke me a while to get back to but I've been pretty busy working.

Boomwoody, I want to secure my computer not put a trojan on it, in case you miss understood me. If I stuck a trojan on there I'd have to be either drunk, or really new at computers.

Maybe we should post his thread in tech humor. lol

Thanks for all the help.

hahaha a trojan. phew...i thought cheyenne wanted a program that will let her see what the other people r doin and only her...not anyone on the internet. i'm sure microsoft offers a program for this.

bahahaha...a trojan...thanx boomwoody i needed a laugh

I take offense to that deftones (not really)

I'm a man, boy, dude, guy ect. lol.
Not a woman or a her.

haha my bad dude...i just know girls have names that r cheyenne...sry. later

They only reason my name is cheyenne is become of a plane that I fly in sometimes called a cheyenne.

It does'nt seem there are good XP users here as for the logging is concerned do the follwing

1. Login as Administrator
2. Control Panel -----> Adminstrative Tools ----> Event Viewer
3. Select Security.

The rest you can do ,if not mail me :)

or

You should try the following tool from Foundstone.com
NTLast v3.0

Speaking of Foundstone.com though, not trying to get off the topic, but I wonder how much longer they will be in business? Better get this stuff while you can.
