If my subordinates uses USBs with their system and after some time they format the system and reinstall windows, can i check whether they used USBs before re installing windows or all data have lost (means log file etc).

I'm not sure I understand you question but I shall try to answer.

Windows 7 will not have (remember) any information on what was use before the reinstall.
Any data that was store on a external device using USB ports should still be on the external storage device.

Does this answer your question?

No you will not be able to see what was done on the computer before you installed Windows 7 again. Once you did a re-install all the old information of what was done one the computer is gone.
