    ProcMon - how to monitor a specific file?


    Is there a way to have ProcMon monitor what applications are accessing a specific file.

    I am aware of setting "Path"=. [pathname]
    However, I don't know how to have ProcMon monitor a specific file within that folder,
    i.e. what applications are actively accessing that file.

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

    Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

    I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

    Thanks, again.
