---------------------------------------------

'WIDO Logbook' consists of 2 programs:
1. LogbookService.exe
2. LogbookReports.exe

REGISTRATION.
WIDO Logbook is shareware and may be tested freely a
month.
Then it must be either registered (9 EUR charge per
computer)
or deinstalled. Otherwise, LogbookService starts no
more.

INSTALLATION.
The downloaded file widologb.zip must be unzipped into
a temporary directory.
In order to install LogbookService you have to start
InstallService.cmd.
In order to install LogbookReports you have to start
Setup.exe.
If your Windows needs a restart, you have to start
Setup.exe manually
again after restart.

Note:
'WIDO Logbook' can be installed only by a user with
administrator rights.

FUNCTIONS.
LogbookService.exe is installed as a 'local service'.
This service checks the logins and logoffs of the
users (and other accounts),
and stores it in a log file, in brief 'logbook'
mentioned.
So that all logins and logoffs will be registered,
the LogbookService must not be stopped.

LogbookReports.exe is a 'normal' Windows program and
is to start from the start menu.
LogbookReports.exe evaluates the 'logbook' led by the
LogbookService
and generates different reports for the duration of
the user sessions,
other accounts activities and the turn-on times of the
computer (see Remark 1).

Remark 1:
The LogbookService starts automatically every time the
system starts.
Therefore, a report for the account 'LogbookService'
represents the turn-on times of the computer!

Remark 2:
Change of system time does not influence the correct
recording of the duration of the sessions.

Remark 3:
Some of the system accounts (e.g. the account 'SYSTEM')
are excluded of check.
