Which computer is which?

[MarcLara]

My boss has given me two identical computers and told me to find out which computer was used by an ex-employee. It's an NT machine. I was hoping that if I just boot it up I can see the default user, but its showing the administrator. Is there any way I can look at a user list file that can tell me which users are using a computer? If so what file should I be looking for

If it is not part of a domain, then the users would be listed in user manager, but those are users that have permission, not neccessarily those who have logged it. Easiest way is to login, go to c:\winnt\profiles (or is it c:\winnt\system32\profiles, its too early in the morning, can't remember), and you'll see the different profile directories of all users who have logged in.
