User field different between XP event viewer and windows 7
Hi,
I have a system log file from my XP machine at work.
When i look at it in the event viewer the User field shows the domain followed by the payroll number of the user that triggered the event.
Looks like: Domain\1234567
When i open it on my windows 7 machine at home the User field is a very long string of numbers and hyphens.
I was hoping to use this file as evidence that a particular user is spying on/stalking me so any help would be much appreciated.

It's because the user does not exist in your home computer, so what you see is the SID, More information abouts SIDs:
