I am looking for an application that will monitor folder activity.

When I access a computer using \\\comptername\folder and delete a file from there, I want to know the user name or the IP of the user that did it.

I can't see this info in the Windows Event log, because I'm not actually logging into the computer.

Suggestions for buying software are welcome!

Check DiskPulse: http://www.diskpulse.com

Hi @ocsid80, and thanks for your answer. If you could provide a bit more information about what DiskPulse is and how it would help in this situation, that would help improve your answer. Just providing a link makes it difficult for readers to tell how this answers the question. – nhinkle Jun 21 '11 at 4:24
