You could also set up a password system. Anyone who logs on would need a password for the computer. Also when your computer is idle and the screen saver comes on the password will need to be entered for the computer to become active again. All the other suggestions work too though:)

The easiest way by far is a little thing called - alt +ctrl and delete. The task bar appears. Select proccess and it will show you all the procces running up to a week and on the time and date used.

You need help with this one, but you can set a bios password that you have to enter to boot in safe mode. So don;t forget it once you set it!
And since its a laptop, lock it away in a briefcase...

Check the Internet History. Or go to tools. click on Internet Options then click on settings then go to view files it will tell you a timeline history there. But not the person who did it

yes get a ghost key logger
it will record every button thas pressed on your computer it can also be set to copy any text that appears on the screen if you wanna know exactly whats going on
some will allow you to send the log via email to another computer if you wanna spy on people...........
make sure its a ghost one tho otherwise they will know theres one on there, the ghost one will only appear when yu press a selected number of keys eg if you press crtl+L+O+G it will pop up and tell you whats been pressed

If you are using xp and have administrative privileges – go to control panel administrative tools – event viewer – security…in there will be every time your computer has been logged in to…Hope that helps.

Well you can check by creeping up on the people who you suspect! But that would just make you a complete CREEP.
You could freak up on to them but what would that jus make you........... a totally utterly bizarre FREAK!
Soz got no other alternatives.... no can do bud!
Good luck. Inspector

how do you find out if someone's been on your lap top?
butt cheek prints on the lid are always a bit of a giveaway!
