    Hi;

    We have provided a PC to machine operators on which they log their production data. Its windows creates problem after passage of some time as operator use the system roughly. I want to check what kind of activities has been done with PC during past day. So is their any "Activity Log" file available which should inform me all activities and also which programs have been run in system?

    Nope, there is no such thing in Windows.

    What does that mean? It is software. :eek:

    I mean, operators connect USB and try to download games etc which creates problems in windows.
    Ok. If there is no any thing available in system then is there any software available?

    My guess are they are using the front USB ports to connect their flashdrives, then not using the Safely Remove Hardware Wizard to properly remove them and free up the drive letters, and the Safely Remove Hardware Wizard just sits there in the system tray, never going away even after a reboot.
    While the rear USB ports are hardwired into the motherboard, the front USB ports are plugged into the motherboard using wires. Power down the system, unplug AC power cord, open the computer case, follow the wires from the USB ports to the motherboard and unplug them. The system will not know this has happened.
    This won't make the Safely Remove Hardware Wizard go away. This would need some registry editing.

    I would prefer if I could find a software to see the activities done on PC.
