Win7 home edition - how to audit when & who logged in past week/month?

Which tool or command part of Win7 home edition, will enable me to trace past logging in/out activites and from which user accounts?

Indeed, tools such as secpol.msc are not part of it(or where not activated)

Thanks didn't know that without audit on, one could trace so much

Pushing a bit further, any chance to clearly identify who deleted a folder.

"Common sense is not so common."
I like that one.

Well you could try: Free PC cleaner - Download

It shows the last time a deleted folder was accessed. I'm not sure if that the same as the time it was deleted.

Warning: When using this software if you clean shellbags for existing folders you will lose all view settings.



Other than that you'd need access to the $LogFile (a hidden system file) but it's not straightforward. I'm attempting to view my $LogFile at the moment and it looks like it will take some time to parse the file.
