is it possible
k lets face it, my parents dont like me using the computer when im grounded (i know the whole thing about being confined to my room, bla bla bla) but several times ive used it when i was grounded, and they always can tell by threatening me to have my computer wiz uncle check the last time some on loged in on this computer, is that possible? is there a way i can deleated the last login if it is??
well if you are using windows, all he has to do is go cmd and go net user user, and he can see when the last time the computer was logged on to that account. I don't think there is a way to prevent that. even if you create a new user each time, you have to log on to some account to create one, so you are Shit out of luck.
if you're running windows, the easiest way your uncle can find out if someone used the computer on a certain day would be to go into the control panel, then find administrative tools, then go to event log. if the computer was turned on a certain day, there would be things with that date in the event log. i'm pretty sure you can just clear the logs though.

he could do that, but still his uncle can just go to command line and type
net user username
and he will see when he logged on. So he is screwed any way he goes.

but what about my idea? would it work if he loged onto the same user as the one im using, would it change to the last log in to the date that he signs on?

EDIT: @OP - yes, if your uncle logged in with the same username, then it would show the current date as the last login date. but he could always just login as a guest.

thank u…thank u….well also theres another problem…. we have an administrator account thats only activated when u in safe mode (i think its like taht for all computers) well he has a password on it but i know it, should i change the password to cause him to go into this account and deleatethe last log in?
also when i went to the even viewer there are sub folders..
applications security system ACCEEventlog (i assume that was the one i was supose to deleate, well the contents inside i was supose to deleate) internet EXplorer microsoft office diagnosis microsoft off sessions
if you have admin privileges, all you have to do is
go to run cmd net user administrator "password"
password= your password
also, if you want to access the admin account, all you have to do is reboot your comp and press ctrl, alt, del,del
press delete twice, then just put in administrator and your password.

2nd, don't log on with your user anymore. Boot from a live disk of something and you'll have no problems with logins and such.
3rd, GOOGLE… don't ask us how to do these things anymore, you learn by DOING.
Nicely said, you could be considered a hacker one day after all.

why is it there are double postings in this topic?
the best way to avoid being detected is by either using a liveCD such as Knoppix which probably supports your network devices (NIC, modem, etc.) esp. if it's a popular brand.
The OS is booted from the CD, which means that Windows will not be started up, therefore when your uncle looks for the Windows system logs,there will be no records of you logging in Windows.
