Hooks Maybe?

Hi, I am currently working on an application where I would like to monitor
the CD-Rom drive to see if certain types of files are being opened (Movies or
Images) and I was wondering where the best place to start would be. I know
that hooks can monitor system messages, but I do not know which type of hook
to use or if there is a better way to do this. Thank you for your help.

I think the FileSystemWatcher class may be a good fit.
