    Hello. How can I find out what files on my computer are being modified? And not by scanning every file. Something like task manager maybe... Thanx. nothing

        Thanx. But that is an executable. I was searching for some source code, or even some main directions so that I can build my own '.cpp'. I only need the path of the files in the form of a string. Alin Stoian

          It helps to be as specific as possible. That article goes on to say what is required. Creating device drivers is no trivial task.

                That would not work unless something about the file was changed.
