How to log activity on my computer?

Solution 1:

You can also try a time monitoring program, like Manictime (which I personally use in its free edition) or others.

They will usually log all activity, which programs and websites are used, when, and for how long. Some of them can be hidden also, if you don't want an icon in the systray.

Solution 2:

To stop your mother playing games on your PC at 3 a.m. use Parental Control

After you've turned on Parental Controls for your child's parent's standard user account, you can adjust any of the following individual settings that you want to control:

Time limits. You can set time limits to control when children parents are allowed to log on to the computer. Time limits prevent children parents from logging on during the specified hours. You can set different logon hours for every day of the week. If they're logged on when their allotted time ends, they'll be automatically logged off.

…

In the Family summary window, click Edit settings for the user account or accounts for which you want to customize settings. You will then be able to:

• Set the desired level of web filtering to determine what types of sites can be accessed.
• Review the websites your child mother has visited, games played, and time spent on the computer.
• Manage your child's mother's contacts in Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger, and Spaces

Solution 3:

Pilixo has a software called Bodi. It allows you to see the detailed analysis of application usage, web browsing, printing, etc. as well as time and length of usage. And it keeps the recording for you, so that you can view and analyze that 3 AM access to your machine. And since Bodi is HTML5 based, you will be able to view the activity from another device. Plus, there is a 30-day free trial so there are no costs associated with it. Give it a try.
