At bottom are links to other freeware keyloggers, but
I've used a freeware program called:
Super WinSpy:

Want to find out what activities have done on your PC when left?
With Super WinSpy, You can find out what the others have done on your
computer , including what web sites they have been, what text, images,
movies they have seen. and also what files they opened/saved, what kind
of search they have done and what they ran at the start menu. Double
click the displayed item will directly open or link to the file or the
URLs stored on your computer.

index.dat file.

KGB Free Key Logger
http://www.refog.com/free-keylogger/key-logger.html
Free KGB Key Logger is a program intercepting keystrokes (that is, a
key logger). Both ordinary users and professionals engaged in IT
security often use this software.
The program is so popular due to the fact that it logs not only
keystrokes, but also characters specific for particular
languages (for example, umlauts), the date and time when some
particular window was opened and even its caption.
So, the program has two very useful features combined in it - it logs
everything that is typed making sure that this data is not lost in case
of a computer crash and it monitors and saves the entire keyboard
activities. This last feature makes it possible for you to see what
your children do with your home computer and to prevent the people
working at your company from inappropriate use of your office computers
without violating the privacy.
