Hi, I need like a program or something like that to watch changes in the system. Like this; I have this program that reads this specific file, and I wanna find out WHAT file that is. Is there such a program?

Thanks in advance

Process Monitor will do what you want. It's kind of advanced, though.

if I understand you correctly, you want to find out WHAT file type it is, you can try out GNU file. Download and install the utility here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/pac... for Windows.

on the command line , just type


c:\test> file <myfile>
