Is there a software for windows that can use the winapi or something to detect folder access or file accesses by that application?

You can use Process Monitor to view/log file/folder activity and set up filters to narrow down the focus to just the files/folders/processes you are interested in.

You can also use Windows Auditing ^[1][2][3] to monitor file/folder access.
