I'm not positive without testing, but I would suggest 2 things to check out to see if it recorded:<br />
<br />
1) &nbsp;Shared Folders (right click my computer, manage, shared folders in the left pane). &nbsp;<br />
<br />
2) Even Viewer (right click my computer, manage, event viewer in the left pane). &nbsp;Check the logs to see if they record anything on accessing the folder on the local machine.<br />
<br />
Additionally, I know there are server programs that will record event logs on every &nbsp;machine in a network. &nbsp;One of these may do what you want.

i forgot something,<br />
you have to open your &quot;Local Security Settings&quot; console (%SystemRoot%\system32\sec<wbr />pol.msc /s), go to local policies, then audit policies and activate objectaccess for success and failure.<br />
then it works.<br />

I have several shared foldes on a Windows XP Professional machine for which I want to keep track of the network users that access them. That is I want to know which computers (or users) access which folder, the time, the date etc. Is there any way that I can do that?<br />
<br />
My network uses a workgroup not a domain.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
