Finding which files an application is writing to at a given time

[Guest Avi Greenbury]

Under Windows XP Pro, how can I find out which files a given process is

reading from/writing to (I don't need the distinction between them) at a

given time?

If these files are open then you could use oh.exe, e.g. like so:

 

oh | find /i "Excel"

 

oh.exe comes with the Windows Resource Kit.

Filemon (freeware) by Sysinternals (MS). Google it.
