Free File Monitor is a system utility that can persistently monitor all the folders including subfolders for newly added/deleted/changed files. It lets you easily monitor the software activities in your computer system. With most specific log information, you can easily get the timestamp & location of the incoming files and tell if they are processed separately or all together in a group. Now you will never miss what's going on with your system behind your watch. Step 1. Select a Folder to Monitor
Launch
Free File Monitor and it will automatically monitors the changes
of folders stored in C:\ hard disk (by default). The status will
be marked in different colors. File is marked in blue text; directory
is marked in green text; removed entry is marked in red text. To
clear the log, go to "File - Clear log".
In "File" tab, click "Set
directory..." to choose a folder
you want to monitor.
Switch
to "Filter" tab. "Watch
subtree" is checked by default to track the changes
in the folders as well as subfolders in the directory. Move mouse
to the "Actions" and you can define whether
to include file adding, deletion, modifying, renaming, etc. in the
list. All items are checked, you can uncheck it according to your
needs.
The
"Notifications" includes file name, directory
name, attributes, size, security, etc. Once checked, the program
will display this information in the main pane.
Once
the Free File Monitor is launched, it starts tracking immediately.
To stop the monitoring, go to "File"
tab and unselect "Active". This is how
our free file monitor works.
