How do I detect when any App reads a file on disk.

[rssql]

I would like to log the AppName and the Filename that the App is reading from disk.

Microsoft has an application that will do this for you. It's available for download on their site, but I can't recall its name off the top of my head, I'll see if I can find it at work tomorrow.

I remembered it because that thing (and a few others from the utilities) have saved my arce more than a few times
