EXPLANATION

All of the above events will be logged in the Windows event log, however there are several different types of log that each contain relevant information.
Application log - contains logging information of events generated by applications.
Security log - contains information related to logon attempts, password changes, group membership, etc.
System log - contains information related to Windows system components, such as driver failures. These logs are predetermined by Windows.
Setup log - contains events related to application setup
ForwardedEvents log - used to store events collected from remote computers

The above alerts appear in the Windows security log as:
Event ID 4624 -  An account was successfully logged on
Event ID 4609 - Windows is shutting down
Event ID 4726 - User account was deleted
Hardware driver failures will appear in the system log
