Need a little help here

Hi guys, im new to this forum. Basically the question i want to ask is "How do i check when and what time a program is installed even after it is uninstalled?"
if you still dont get me, i'll give you an example.
For instance, im a father of two and i go to work daily. My children plays the computer and installs a game. After playing for a while they uninstall the game to prevent me from knowing. I came back from work and want to check whether they installed that game. what are the ways to check for recently installed software, even after they have been uninstalled other than system restore

try system restore on xp, that will probably make a restore point and give you a little info on what has been changed

What OS are you using? Do the kids have their own user log-on?

Before you find out, I would like to tell you that sometimes, it is better if your kids are not monitored in that way. They will be able to do what they wish with their friends and so on. Just wanna make sure that it does not cause unnecessary problems.
