Monitor File Events is a portable system activity sniffer designed to determine file or folder changes.

It offers the ability to scan up to five different directories and their relative sub-directories. It also permits the use of search filters for directories and files for obtaining precise targets without causing issues within the hundreds of other processes in other paths not targeted.

The selected filters that Monitor File Events provide determine what you are watching and which events can be triggered. This process gives a unique insight even over what the Task Manager provides. Monitor File Events also allows for the quick inspection of the Directory with a double click on the Events or Processes displayed. You can additionally save log activities in * .txt format allowing for straightforward reading. This ability makes it easy to organize and compare the activities by time and scan due to the time-stamping for each line. One useful feature is the automatic saving of last User Settings - perfect for us forgetful users.

It does get several hits on VirusTotal due, in part, to the sniffing functions it performs.

You will need an app such as Winzip to unpack and use Monitor File Events.
