When we share a home (or office) with other people, whether it's colleagues (apartment or service) or family, it is normal to want them not to use us personal things among which, obviously, are also counting computerul, without our will. Fortunately, WinXP respect the need for privacy of users, giving them the opportunity to be notified whenever Someone logs on personal computer.

Windows Task Scheduler can be set to send emails in response to a series of system activities. Unfortunately, although it has integrated an Feature sending emails, it is not very flexible and does not correspond to the needs of the majority of the user. That is, if a user uses a server SMTP which requires authentication, its authentication details must be the same as the authentication details of Windows user account For the e-mail feature of the Task Scheduler to work. Therefore, in order to be able to achieve this task we will use an tool gratuit of sending emails through command line, namely Sendemail.
- open Task Scheduler (taste task scheduler in Start Menu And give Enter), then click on the option Create Task of the sidebar (right side)
- in tab-ul General, choose one Name for Task (for example Logging e-mail) you give o o description to it (for example Notify me when someone logs on my computer) then select the option Run whether user is logged on or not.

(in which you replace from and to cu your name of your gmail user, again password cu Your Gmail account password)
- in tab-ul Conditions, disperse the option Start the task only if the computer is on AC, otherwise you will not receive email if you have a laptop, and another user logs on it when it is on battery.
