Want to monitor drive

Question

Friends I want to monitor my drive for any update/modify/delete/create/etc. I'm using C# class FileSystemWatcher but it is giving me all the updates whether it is done by security pactches or by some file change my person. How can I avoid that

Shweta Lodha · Answer

Himha As per my knowledge FileSystemWatcher class can't distinguish between who is doing the update.

Shweta is correct about the FileSystemWatcher not being able to identify whether updates etc. are made by some user or by the system. In fact AFAIK nothing can. The Windows OS just doesn't record this information.
