I am working in a C# program what monitors the activity on a computer. I
have been able to accomplish quite a bit so far, but one item I have not
been able to figure out is if there is a way to monitor when a file is
opened. The FileSystemWatch er class is useful for monitoring file/directory
changes, but all I want is to monitor when a file is opened. Is there any
way to do that in .NET?
I am also monitoring processes in use on the system, and checking for open
windows. I can do that quite easily for using the Process class, but haven't
figured out a way to tell of Explorer has any open windows. I want to
prevent users from browsing the hard disk, or at least detect if it is being
done.
This program is part of something I'm developing to help Professors monitor
what student's are doing during a computer-based exam. We want to prevent
students from accessing crib notes stored on their computer, among other
things. The more I can control/prevent with my program, the better. For
example, I prevent the use of Ad Hoc wireless connections and the use of
instant messenger type programs with a mini-firewall. The toughest part is
finding information about how to control all of these internal aspects of
windows... 2 4247
Sounds like you have to use Win32 API's. Have a look at the utilities at http://www.sysinternals.com/, some of them are with source, they are written
in C/C++

hello,
i have designed a desktop search utility in python and a file system
monitoring using readdirectorychangesw from win32api but for eg. it
has a high cpu utilization (using a 2GHz processor).
a solution ntfs change journal proposed here works only for ntfs
partitions
is there another low (processor) cost alternative that works on fat32
partitions as well.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
