Hi,

I'm trying to list all files opened by a specific process (including remote files, on virtual directories).
I've noticed that there no WMI services to do that, but from my understanding this is something that has to be monitored by the os.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Amir

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did look into that article, however, the code there is a little obsolete. It uses NtQuerySystemInformation() which msdn warns of using (for latter compatibility). It suggests using GetSystemInfo() instead, but I really can't find HOW to use GetSystemInfo().
In addition, this article discusses ALL the open file handles, which is an overkill.

Thanks,
Amir
