finding records in my computer

I was wondering if there is anyway possible that I can find records in my
computer that will show that I log in and out of my computer? I'm looking
for the one that will show that the time and date that I sign on or off from
my computer. Or maybe show IP # and etc. Where can I go in my computer
system to find the information. I have a Window Vista and Window Mail. I
hope someone can help me. Thanks, Lauria

Yes. Try Event Viewer, Just FYI.

Hi Lauria,

Click start and type eventvwr.msc, then hit <enter>. Look under Windows
Logs/Security for logon events.

what does this mean "Windows detected your registry file is still in use by
other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The
applications or services that hold your registry file may not function
properly afterwards."?

According to Microsoft, you can ignore it:

I was wondering by look at my View Event, is there any way that I can tell if
someone had hacked my computer?
Thanks,
Lauria

How do you mean 'hacked', started it while you weren't there ?

You have to go look for yourself with the proper tools. Currport runs on
Vista Active Ports does not run on Vista.

All NT based versions of the Windows O/S such as Win NT, 2K, XP and
Vista have audit logging that is disabled by default, and if you enable
auditing, you will be able to see these events with the Event Viewer on
Vista.
