Default how to log all files opened on my pc?


Wrote:
I'm looking for a program or process by which all files of certain
types (i.e. .xls, .doc, .ppt) will be written to a text log file on my
pc.

A log entry would be created each time I open a file.

The log entry would list the name of the file, the path, the date, and
time, and the file type.


I did this once, but I had to do it for every Office Application. I
settled on Word and Excel, and simply wrote macros that replaced the
Save and Save As commands, saving to a hidden logfile first before
saving normally.

I don't know if this could be done now.

But why not use a keystroke logger instead, that captures everything
that is typed on your PC?
