Have you ever asked yourself how much time other users are spending on your computer ? Maybe you are a parent and want to check on the computer usage of your kids, maybe you want to check on the WOW addiction of your husband or simply know if someone logged into the computer without your authorization.

Access Monitor is logging every login and logout giving administrators the chance to check the logs to see which users did use the computer. The tool has to be run on startup to log the user system access and can be password protected to make sure no one but the administrator can view the log files.

The icon can be hidden from “normal” users but the process is still visible in the task manager which means it it at least possible to see that it is running and find out what it is being used for.

The logs can be printed and cleared at any time. The bar at the bottom defines the number of log entries that are stored.
