Re: Auditing A Folder

If you enable auditing on certain files and folders, this information should be shown in the Security event log, but you must enable auditing on objects first on the actual machine.

Either by Group Policy or Local Computer Policy, go to 'Computer Configuration', 'Windows Settings', 'Security Settings', 'Local Policies', 'Audit Policy', and modify the 'object access' setting.

More information can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301640. Hope this helps.

Is there a way to tell who or what accessed a particular folder or

this information.

Thanks.
