Checking when a user last logged on.... STILL UNRESOLVED

In 2K / XP, is it possible via an API or something, to check to see when a user last logged on?

I'll be writing it in to an app i'm creating, so any help would be great.

Regards,

Paul.

*bump*

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim User as string
Dim filnr As Integer
User = Environ("userName")
filnr = FreeFile
Open App.Path & "\Uselogger.txt" For Append As filnr
Print #filnr, User & " Logged on at " & Date & " " & Time
Close filnr
End Sub

Good idea... and i'de already programmed something like that...

But a program can be overwritten or the process stopped and therefore wouldn't show in the logs.

If you stopped the windows kernel... you couldn't log in. There must be a log somewhere from windows surely.

Why did you ask for help with creating a logfile when you say that there already exist the logfile you want? :confused:

Thank you for the help...

But at no point during my post did i ask how to create a logfile. Anyone with any VB knowledge should know that!!!

Anyone else with knowledge of the windows kernel?

My code created a logfile where you could see when a user last logged on. Right?

Just an idea: If you go to "C:\Documents and Settings\" you got some subfolders where you got some dat and logfiles. Maybe you can read the datestamp or something like that from this files...
