I'm assuming you've exhausted your History choices and Windows Search routines. You know that you can go into Windows Logs and find out when the computer was started, and if there are any errors, it will log the program name. But that's about it.\n\nUnless you are running some sort of Key Logger program, you won't know where a person has been on your computer, or which Folders were opened, because there is no change to a "Folder" when it is opened or closed, and you don't re-save a Folder once it's made. Neither is a Program File usually changed or re-saved, so there's no way to tell which programs have been run. But a data file is different. \n\nYou don't say what you are trying to do or find out. If you are trying to find a file that you've lost or used before, then it's one way, but if you're trying to track someone using your computer, it's another way.\n\nEach time you open a data file, the date stamp is reset when it is closed. So if you are looking for a recently used data file, all you do is look for the most recent Dates. \n\nThe easiest way to do this is in a DOS window, from the Command Prompt. Click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, the click on Command Prompt to open a Dos window.\n\nAt the C:&#92; prompt, type the following:  dir date /od\n\nYou are doing a Directory sort by Date, with the latest dates last, at the bottom, so you can easily see which files have been changed or used lately.\n\nNow change directories to another Folder and do the same thing. to get Help on any DOS command, like CD or CHDIR, for Change Directory, just type the command followed by a slash and a question mark, like this  CD /?\n\nDOS has a problem with Names or Folder Names that have spaces in them. It thinks there are two separate names. So if you want to change directories to MY DOCUMENTS, then you have to enclose the whole name in parentheses, like this\nCD "MY DOCUMENTS"\n\nOr use the Explorer address bar to drag the address into your DOS window, and it will fill in the long filenames and directories for you.\n\nIf you're not familiar with DOS, you're going to have trouble, so get someone who is familiar with DOS to check all of the different directories.

Put the burned CD-R back in the drive and open up the information from the CDRom drive icon.  If the information went thru, you will see the files listed

Check in your Autorecovery area for a file with the most recent time/date stamp.\n\nYou will have to set your My Computer/Explorer options to View Details.  Show hidden Files and Folders.  Also uncheck Hide System files.\n\nAfter you have made the View changes, you may also need to do a complete search of the whole C: drive for files ending in *.tmp .\nThis will give you back 100's if not 1000's of files.\nHere is what you are looking for:\nOrganize the search results by Time.\nLook at the files that are closest to the last time you used the file.\nThe files that may contain something of your doc will look something like this " ~WRL9823A87F.tmp " .\nIt is the ~WR files that denote it belongs to Word in some way.\n\nGood luck.

Follow the instructions you see here to find the history of recently viewed sites, but be aware that a savvy 11 year old may know how to delete the history.\n\nFor another way to see what he's been looking at you might want to try this...\n\nOn the menu, click Tools > Internet Options and on the General tab select Settings. On the dialog that opens click View Files. On the window that opens click on the View menu and select Thumbnails. This will show you the images that have been viewed since the cache was cleared.
