Windows Vista forum: How Can I view login history to see dates, times, ID's

you can create a custom view in Event Viewer.

In the filter, choose By Log and select Windows Log/Security. Include Event IDs: 4624-4634 and choose Keyword: Audit Success.

Do not enter a User, since logon/logff events are system level and the user is embedded in the event details.

After filtering, you can export the log or copy the details to an XML file that will be similar to this.
