Spector Pro records the activity all of users in a multi-user environment (more than one Windows user login). You can choose to limit which users are recorded. In addition, Spector Pro presents an easy-to-read graphic that allows you to see, at a glance, patterns of behavior over a designated period of time. By default, all users are recorded.
23 year-old Jessica is working on her master's degree in Health Science; she is studious and hard-working. However, 17 year-old Michael has some questionable friends. You only want to monitor Michael's computer activity, so you create an "include" list that contains only Michael's user name.
You want to monitor and record everything that 15-year-old Robert is doing on his computer. Create an "exclude" list that contains only your user name, so that everyone else is recorded. No matter how many new accounts and user names Robert creates, he is still getting recorded.
To limit which users are recorded, you'll need to add user names to the Users list. Log off all users to ensure that new settings affect these users.
To create a Users to Record list:
From the Who To Record pane:
If you have determined that you want to limit which users you record, click Only record the following Windows users (otherwise all).

You can either create an include Users list or an exclude Users list. Click to make the appropriate selection:
Record only users listed - Select this if you want to record activity only for the user(s) listed here.
Record all users except these listed - Select this if you want to record all user activity, except for the user(s) listed here.
Click Add. The New User window opens.

Enter the user name of a user who you want to add to the list.

Be sure to enter the Windows user name, and not a user name associated with an email or chat / IM application. If you are unsure of the user name, click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts. All valid Windows user names are listed. |
Click OK to accept the entry, or Cancel to reject it. The New User window closes. If the entry was accepted, the user name appears in the Users list.
To delete a user in the Users list, click to select it and then click Delete. The entry is removed.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each user you want to add to the list.
Click OK to save the changes you have made, or Cancel to discard them. The Settings window closes.
Next you will review Introduction to Blocking.
