Ok, obviously I was not clear. The administrator is the user who sets up the other users and can view activity reports. I know that all the other users log activity, but is there an activity log for the administrators user account. Eg., if I suspected that my daughter had figured out the password to my user, could I view what things had been opened on my user and see the last time I logged in etc etc to see whether or not she has been on my user? Yea I will change the password, but is it possible to see what she may or may not have opened?

depending on how smart your kid is, she may or may not have covered up her tracks after entering the admin account.



I don't think there's a log for keystrokes or files opened. that would require a 3rd party program (one that you should stay away from since you don't know if it's bad or not).

depends on the settings in the parental controls, odds are that it excludes the admin account as default as thats the control not the user in normal working. It might be that it has logged the activity but you would only know if there was an admin user listed in the log. otherwise sorry your out of luck, use a really hard password not one that she could guess.

If you are talking about the internet, just go on your administrator account and whichever browser you use look at the 'History'. If there are any sites on your History that you didn't go too then you can tell (if she was in fact logged into your account) what pages she has opened.
