Keep Track of Boot Ups??

[SDsucka]

Is there any way (maybe taken down in a boot log somewhere), that could tell me what time and date my computer has been booted up?? If not, is there a program that would keep record of activity on my computer?? i only ask because i feel that there are weird changes in my settings that may be done by some people that i live with and i'd like to know if they've been accessing my computer. Thanks =)

Methods for logging boot date / time varies by OS. This part can be as easy as a coupla lines in a batch file. As far as actually monitoring activity on the system, there are third party programs for Win9X that will log activity. NT and W2K come with tools that would let you monitor activity by various users.

Your BIOS is almost certain to support a boot-time password. Why not use that? Then no one would be booting the system -- unless they knew that password. Just don't forget it yourself!

Does this make sense, or am I misinterpreting your questions?

You're welcome. And good luck! It's a bummer to have someone fiddling with your 'puter stuff!
