Your office computer could be an open book for others to abuse while you aren’t at your desk. Or maybe your child could be using (or misusing) the computer while you were away. What proof do you have of them using your computer? Of course surveillance may be there at your office, but surely not at home. So how can you find out when your computer was switched on the last time?
Your computer is a sophisticated system that keeps track of each and every happening on it (how much ever you curse it for not even doing the most trivial tasks easily!). So how do you do it?
Well, here it is:
- First go to the RUN box (Start => Run or Start+R)
- Now type the following in the text-box:
eventvwr.msc
- Alternatively you could go to the Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Event Viewer.
- Once the Event Viewer window is open click on the System link in the left pane.
Now scroll through the times given in the right pane. Consider the following example to get a clearer idea:
Here I had switched off my computer around 6 PM which has entries with time upto 5:42:05 PM as well as 5:56:59 PM. However notice that there is also a event recorded at 7:05:58 PM and another at 9:24:40 PM.
Well those were the times that my computer were last switched on. Interesting, who could it be? (don’t worry it was my sis 
)
Got any other ways to find it out? Please do share.
