Mr. Trammel,

What you are looking for is a program called OpenTrap.

We use it daily on systems that are causing lockups, random reboots,
and giving sporadic errors. Perhaps it will help you.

"OpenTrap is a 32-bit Windows 95 application that lets you record file
system activity so you can diagnose problems with your system or just
see what's going on behind the scenes as you work."

I found the link for you as well:

Subject: Text file monitor?

Hello People,

I am wondering if any of you know of a tool to monitor and log changes
to a
specific text file on Win9x/NT OSsÂ’
I have a INI file that is randomly going to 0 Bytes on over 5000
machines
and I need to find out exactly when this happens and who/what is being
written to the file before this happens.

Luthman
