Dear All,

I need your help in cracking a problem i am facing.......

I want to track the saving of a file using 'Save As' menu option of different applications(like notepad, word, excel , acrobat) etc. I guess it requires hooking some of APIis like getsavefilename etc. But then what i found is MS OFFICE utilities use some other alien apis which i am not able to figure out, I am really struck here... I appreciate any help in this direction

I am using VC++ on windows XP

Thanks in advance

You would need a File System Filter Driver to catch all writes to the disk.
Not really a straight forward task.
