in my windows event logs I have: TimeGenerated=20101226191500.000000-360 TimeWritten=20101226191500.000000-360 what is the difference between these to time stamps and were do they come from?

TimeGenerated is when the event occurred; TimeWritten is when it was written to the event log. Usually they'll be the same or very close.
