Who created this sub account??

[Guest]

Is there a way I can find out who created a sub account on my computer. The
sub account was created within the last 2 days. I went onto My Computer to
try and find the time it was created, I couldn't. I suspended the account
last night, but it really bugs me not knowing who did it!! I do have
teenagers get on from time to time, but of course they all deny it! But if I
can get the time it was created I'll know who it was. I wrote down the user
name and the email it was under, but I can't seem to get any farther.
I have since, changed my password. If anyone has any ideas on how to get
this info, please let me know. Thanks!!

Windows XP does not have "sub accounts"...Are you referring to user accounts (created from Control Panel > User Accounts) or e-mail identities (created from Outlook Express > Identities > Create new identity)?

I suppose if you go into "my computer" and that shows the folders of the
user documents then right click on the folder of the suspect user then the
properties will give a time and date of when it was created.

I have Windows XP, but the sub account was created in Yahoo!DSL. That's what
I use as my email.

I thought that's what I had done. I went into "search" in My Computer, I
searched by the user name and then by the date, nothing! Is there something
else I can try??

Have you looked in Yahoo Help? Have you asked Yahoo Support?

I did. I accessed online chat support and all she could tell me is to change
my password and that the only one that can create a sub acct is the primary
user. I told her that I am the primary user and I didn't want to create the
account, just find out who created it. She then told me how to suspend the
acct. She was no use to me.

You may find evidence of times your computer was accessed by using the
Search facility in Windows Explorer to find files over the given time
frame. This can give pointers when you study the names of the files
accessed. Look at When was it Modified, Specify date.

Do Users have their own User Accounts for Windows not Yahoo? Remember
they could have opted to use another's User Account. Indeed they might
have used yours.

You need to decide whether to take precautions to prevent it happening
again and leave it at that. It may be that is the best in the interests
of preserving relationships within the household.
