Software to monitor File In Use

[Phaetos]

I have been all over the net trying to find a simple program that will monitor 2 shared folders and let me know if ANY of the files in said folders are currently IN USE. I don't want to know if the date changes, or if it's been modified, or if a file was created, or any other shit they think I want to know. I want to simply know if any file is in use, that's it.

Has anyone come across something for this? It's driving me nuts that I can't find something that should be so simple that it's got to have been created.

I have a program called FILEMON that might be exactly what you want.....

www.moonnight.ch/public/downloads/Sysinternals/Filemon

Thats the lastest copy before he got rid of it.... EXCELLENT PROGRAM!!


If you would like I DO HAVE AN ORIGINAL VERSION OF THIS PROGRAM (If you dont want the new one with EULA crap,etc)


Good luck!

Filemon and regmon were discontinued because they were all merged into procmon. Why not just use procmon? Set it to monitor only file activity, and it'll be just like the old filemon. Also, the EULA is shown only the very first time you run the program and is never shown again--hardly a major inconvenience.

Filemon won't even run, it loads and says that it was replaced by ProcMon and exits.

Hmmmmm sorry for the inconveinence!!!!


I have v7.02 (436k) and it runs fine thankfully... (I like the basic versions w/o eula and who knows what else)

I have put it here if you wanna try it. IT SHOULD WORK FOR YOU!!

That site doesnt seem to have it labeled right so when you save it,YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE FILENAME and EXTENTION MANUALLY!!!! (<anything>.exe works fine)


I love this program!! (This and regmon)

is this from a server? share and storage management with the file services role will let you see open files.

Yes, it is off a 2008 R2 server and I did see the tool to monitor shares. But i found a program called ShareWatch that does exactly what I wanted, and it's free.

Before you getting random EXEs off the internet. All you need is the currently release of Microsoft's website. Running Procmon /accepteula once is pretty simple. It only asks once and never again or using /accepteula skips even that.

The fact that the op ran a random exe on the net on his server would concern me more.

Well I have had this for awhile now and it works well so I figured I would upload it somewhere so he could try it.... Im glad he found something
