Hello Experts - anyone know of any utilities or methods to watch a folder and trigger an event when a file is opened ?<br />
<br />
Ditto when same file is closed ?<br />
<br />
Am testing File Sight at the moment but it can't detect closing files.<br />
<br />
Will need to trigger a script or program. Logging alone is not sufficient.<br />
<br />
Should I tap into WMI and is this difficult to do ?<br />
<br />
Any help appreciated
