Suddenly here in my work, some PCs are being turned on by "ghosts" during night/clean periods and they are being used! How can I know the last person who logged in? Are there some kind of login logs in win xp?

Make sure you enable security auditing on your XP computers. You want to turn on "Audit account logon events" This can be done through group policies if you are in an AD domain. If not go to each computers Local Security Policy and turn on auditing for success and failure. Then look in each computers Security Event Log to see who is logging on at night. What a long strange trip this will be
