Computer Use Reporter

Computer Use Reporter is a handy Windows software that keeps track of what programs are being used on your computer. It focuses on the title bars of the programs you run. You know, that blue bar at the top of every window? Yeah, that's it! It usually shows the name of the program, like 'Internet Explorer'. Pretty neat, right?

Track Your Programs Easily

This software doesn't just stop at tracking program names. It also tells you which files those programs are accessing. For web browsers, it can even show you the title of the web page you're looking at! For example, if you're checking out the Leithauser Research homepage in Internet Explorer, it'll display something like 'Shareware Software by Leithauser Research - Internet Explorer' in that title bar. So you can see which websites are visited when Computer Use Reporter is running.

Detailed Reports

Computer Use Reporter records both the date and time when a program first pops up and any time its title changes. If multiple users have access to your computer, it even notes who was using it during each session. That way, you get a clear picture of who did what and when.

User-Friendly Interface

You can check out all this info easily through the Computer Use Reporter control program. This tool lists all title bars along with their corresponding dates. Just click on an item to see which user was logged in at that time! It's all laid out simply for you.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

However, there are some limitations to consider. For instance, if a user has limited permissions (like on Windows XP), this software can't record their activities since it can't save files in most folders. The same goes for some restricted users on Windows 2000; depending on their settings, Computer Use Reporter might not be able to save reports while they're using the computer.
