Program of file monitor

PROGRAM OF FILE MONITOR (M. Sc. Thesis) Ismail KURNAZ GAZI UNIVERSITY INSTUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY August 2003 ABSTRACT In this study, a file monitor program whose name is called as DOST has been developed. DOST can show the list of the running applications in the Windows operating systems to the users. The list of currently running applications has been implemented by using some of the special library functions. DOST implements to enumerate running applications and their processes, modules and threads by using PSAPI library functions in NT systems and by using Tool Help library functions in 9x/2000/Me/XP systems. Which library's function will be used while the applications are enumerated, determine by the ability of DOST's perceiving operating system. While the users study with their computers, they can monitor the list of all currently running applications by the ability of DOST's always on top window property.
