Hello,
I am looking for a script, preferably vbs, that can list files opened locally on a system.
I can use the net file command to list files opened through share access, but I am looking to see files opened locally on the system.
I have tried openfiles.exe, turned local on with /local on and rebooted but no luck, I open a file locally, tried .txt and xls files and it lists nothing.
If you could point me to a script sample, it would be appreciated. I am familiar with wmi programming and the like as well.

Thank you.

Would accessing 'My Recent Documents' help?
This script is supposed to that:

Const MY_RECENT_DOCUMENTS = &H8&

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_RECENT_DOCUMENTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
Wscript.Echo objFolderItem.Path

Set colItems = objFolder.Items
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo objItem.Name
Next
