Question

I notice that Windows XP Event Viewer show a list of typical actions under System logs every time I start or shutdown Windows, and I can tell when my day starts and ends.

Is there anyways I can record the time every time I lock my screen and every time I re-login? There maybe a way to fool System Event Logger into submission, but a free third party tool would be good too if not.

Was it helpful?

OTHER TIPS

You can definitely schedule a task to run when you log on or off. Just write a little script to append a file with the system time and schedule it to run when you log on or off.

Your Security Event Log records account logon and logoff events. Not sure if screensaver locking then logging on again counts as a loggable event though.

Timesnapper might be the thing you're looking for:

Keep track of your day, even tracks when you're not using the computer.

Not free but at $24 hardly breaking the bank either.
