utility which will tell me which program created a tmp file

[Guest Rowan]

I have a process which creates temp files in the c:windows\temp folder

whenever a file is printed. doesn't matter how the file is created. I

think this may be due to a propitiatory audit program by teh printer

mfg. Any one know of a program that can monitor a folder and show

which process created a file?

Hey Rowan,

 

Check out Process Monitor from Microsoft Technet / SysInternals. Process

Monitor will monitor file / registry IO and tell you which process is

reading / writing which file. It's very good.

 

I wrote a blog some time ago about using Process Monitor for monitoring the

registry -

Download process monitor here -
