Hello everybody,
I want to watch on user activity.
For this i am developing the application through which i want to capture his log.
So whenever user opens any file at that time my application wants to know the file name.
Now i am tracking the changes like updating the file,renaming the file or deleting the any file in file system.
I also want to know when that file was opened and when was closed.
So is there any class or api so that my application will get this information?

Thanks
Rama

Thanks for reply
But whatever you suggest, i had done with it.
Now i want to know the time and name of the file when it opened and closed.
Means whenever user double clicked on file such as video file then my application will get its name and time when he double clicking on it.
Similarly i want the close timings.
I hope u understand the exact problem.

Thanks
