Hi Everyone,

This morning something strange has happened with my computer... I left it in my office on stand by, and when I got back to the office in the morning and oppened my laptop... RESOLUTION WAS CHANGED!
This happens always when I connect a projector or another monitor to it... and than I sew the cable of another monitor still standing next to my laptop.

I'm sure someone was using my computer after working time!! I have password protection (but very poor).
I've looked at Event log > Aplications and it shows me data only for today.
How can I find out some facts and know for sure if someone has used it?

Thank's a lot in advance.
Tina

Is this YOUR personal machine or one provide to you by your work, this makes a huge difference ?

It's my work laptop... but everyone has their own... and we use them at home as well... so it is as well kind of personal.

If it supplied by your work for business purposes, no matter, then it is NOT your property.

You have NO rights concerning this machine at all.
It would be advised to ask you IT department for any assistance.

Dear TINAA,
Firstly when system goes standby it will ask for the password. The person who login to your system surely know your password
Secondly change your password with more Complexity.
Thirdly you can see Anonymous user login logs in Event viewer-windos logs-security-Audit succes-Logon.

Of course it's not my property, I am aware of that fact... but that doesn't mean that anyone can just use it without saying a word... espetialy persons that are not my supervisors or administrators, and were not in the office.
We have very srict policy concerning some informations, that are not for subordinates to see. Let just say that in our office it is not normal to just use another colleague's laptop.
