    When I was using Win95 on a network, there was a very handy program (in 'administrative tools' I think) that let me see who was browsing my machine over the network, and what files/folders they were looking at. Now I'm on XP, and I can't find any similar program (besides looking at access logs, but that's hardly an ideal solution). Anyone know where it is, or if it's still part of Windows? If not, are there any progs available that can do this?

    thanks,
    J

    Should be in Control Panel > Admin Tools > Computer Management

    It's definitely avaliable in Win2k and I'm reasonably sure it should be available in "Computer Management".

    (A very handy feature when ping times, etc at LAN's matter ;) )

    Ah yes, there it is (Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Sessions / Open Files for those wondering).

    Thanks leeroy.

    Yeah that's the program I was talking about in 95/98, but it's missing in 2000 & XP. It's a pity the replacement one under Computer Management isn't updated realtime - you have to refresh it manually. Still, very handy.
