Windows: tool to list of the user who accessed a particular file and when

Question

I a windows I can look at the Last Access time of the file and it will show me when well a file has been touched last time. Is there any tool which could give me the list of the users who accessed particular file and when did they do that. Basically I have a file on a network drive and I would like to have some kind of basic audit reporting tool.

Answer 1

You don't need a separate tool, Windows is already capable of doing that (works very similar for other versions of Windows):
