I need a way to monitor the moment a file is accessed. Something similar to Tail (but for windows). The file that is being accessed is not a text file but a binary (*.wav) file. While it would help if some C# code were available, a command line app that monitors file access would be great as well.

I hope this helps:

Get-ChildItem .\filename.wav -File | select LastAccessTime

You might want to put that in a loop and also a condition in order to monitor file access time.

  • Thanks. The lastaccesstime does provide a solution. Not a perfect one (I actually neede to monitor when files are loadedf/unloaded). but its a step ion right direction. Oh.. one needs to enable a registry setting in order to monitor last access date in Win 7 and above\ – Eminem Feb 13 '17 at 08:30
