Hello,

I have a software named hopem (that I didn't make) that communicate with a second software.
Hopem send data to the second software, but the second software has to be close, so my guess is that Hopem write something on the hd, and when the second software start, it will read it.
I want to know what and where Hopem write it.
Is there a file monitor under windows xp, that could tell me all the file that are being writted at the moment?



Never mind, I find where the file is.
But still, a software like this would be a great tool to have.

There are various events you can watch, I am unsure of what exactly Windows provides. In a practical sense, it would make more sense to write a program to poll a thread that looks out for a file - or to use the operating system's filesystem APIs to look for a new file in a location. Just 'viewing" all files being written is not as important.
