Using the event logs in Event Viewer, you can gather information about hardware, software, and system problems. You can also monitor Windows XP security events.
A computer running any version of Windows XP records events in three kinds of logs:
Application log
The application log contains events logged by applications or programs. For example, a database program might record a file error in the application log. Program developers decide which events to monitor.
Security log
The security log records events such as valid and invalid logon attempts, as well as events related to resource use such as creating, opening, or deleting files or other objects. An administrator can specify what events are recorded in the security log. For example, if you have enabled logon auditing, attempts to log on to the system are recorded in the security log.
System log
The system log contains events logged by Windows system components. For example, the failure of a driver or other system component to load during startup is recorded in the system log.
Start > Run > type eventvwr
