UserAssist keeps track of programs executed, running count, and last execution date/time in registry. UserAssist registry keys are saved in following locations:
HKEY_USERS\{SID}\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\{GUID}\Count
|
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\{GUID}\Count
|
Typical GUID's used in NT 5.x:
{75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}
|
{5E6AB780-7743-11CF-A12B-00AA004AE837}
|
By default this logging is enabled and ROT-13 encrypted, although both options can be manually disabled via registry keys in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\Settings
