Hello, here's my second post so be lenient

here's a little tool to monitor file activity on windows.

From the .hlp file :
"Filemon is an application that monitors and displays all file system activity on a system. It has advanced filtering and search capabilities that make it a powerful tool for exploring the way Windows works, seeing how applications use the files and DLLs, or tracking down problems in system or application configurations.

Filemon works on NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME."

Hope you'll find this usefull.

Hey mate

alwayz nice to see good proggy's being uploaded.

and heres one for you... very useful indeed!

PLATFORMS:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000

DESCRIPTION:
InCtrl5 is the fifth incarnation of one of PC Magazine's most popular utilities. By monitoring the changes made to your system when you install new software, it enables you to troubleshoot any unexpected problems that come up. Virtually every modern program uses an install utility that installs or updates files, and also may record data in the registry, and update INI files or other essential text files. A companion uninstall utility should precisely reverse the effects of the install utility. When a newly installed program causes existing applications to fail, or when the supplied uninstall utility can't complete its task, to restore your system you need a record of exactly what the original install utility did. InCtrl5 can provide this record.
This new version offers a variety of new features, including an attractive new interface, the ability to track changes to text files such as AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, HTML reports, and command line switches. It runs under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4, and Windows 2000. It does not run under Windows NT 3.51 or any other operating system. Older versions of Windows are supported by previous versions of InCtrl. If you are running Windows NT 4 or Windows 95, you will need Internet Explorer 4 or higher to preview HTML reports within the program.

Handy tip: to use it to monitor what changes windows makes (eg when you change screen resolution) start incntrl, run up notepad.exe as the executable, wait for notepad to open. Then change whatever you want to monitor (eg screen resolution), close notepad and click 'Install done'.
Incntrl will then generate a report showing what's changed. Strip out the standard notepad.exe changes and you get a list of changes were made when you changed your screen resolution.

The principle holds good for monitoring any changes.

Just what the doctor Ordered

enjoy!
