Noted with many thanks.

BTW, i looked at FileMon and how it does the job. I understood it well, but
there is no way for me to accomplish such a task.
If all others fail, i will try one of your other suggestions. The one of
zero length file seems more easy for me to achieve since i already have the
code for file managment (find, copy, check if any file exists etc).
