how to record file operating activity

[zhanghong920]

I need to record a user's file system activities such as creating, saving, reading, deleting, or moving a file, operated on Windows Explorer or via a software such as MS Word. The program has to be trigged by any file access and record the related information (e.g.: the file's name, under which directory, and time stamp). Anyone know how big the project would be and if it's achievable, how to do that?

Thanks a lot,
Hong

I don't see how you will be able to do that in Java.

Neither do I, I bet for a native Windows solution.

Yeah you'd want a NATIVE Windows solution that looks at all the MSG's that the kernel sends. Just set up a listener for all the file access messages and log them.
