Hi Guys,

While I was outta the house some one used my PC. From my history I can tell that they logged into hotmail and attached some files. Before I start accusing roommates is there anyway to retrive the user name?

**EDIT**

Can't you just use your Router to see if someone got on through a connection? And why does it bother you anyways?

Find out which one uses hotmail?

Or better yet, just ask and ask them not to use your computer because you are a tightwad.

Why wasn't your workstation locked?

They used my open limited user account. All of them use hotmail.

It was on firefox

Disable the open user account or set limited access if you have to be such a tightwad. :roll: If they had accessed something inappropriate then that is a different issue, but oh noes, they accessed an email client. It is the end of the world, all will perish in the coming storm.

If you have a limited user account, why didn't you limit everything that matters? And if you did, why the F do you care? Go buy a surveillance camera.

Lick the keyboard....then randomly lick your roommates' fingers to see if you can find a match.

Yeah, and if that proves to be inconclusive then sniff the computer chair and then all of their butts.

Ok, Apparently one of my roommates corrupted a DLL and took a copy off mine. I just thought it was strange as no one has used my PC in years.

Just fvcking ask, you wuss.

You say: "Hey, who was on PC?"
He says: "Oh, that was me, sorry."
You say: "Could you ask if you want to use it in the future, please?"
He says: "Sure, no problem."

The front of my case is locked. I'm not upset about it just curious. Our front door is rarely locked so it could have been one of the neighbours etc.

So if they remembered why the F did you create a thread about it?

Looks like you already got your answer before you made this thread....
