Debugging file system access

I'm looking for a Windows tool that is capable of logging every action (read and write) that has been done on a specific path within the local filesystem in order to debug a program (figure out why it is sometimes slow and sometimes not). In theory, it can act as a virus scanner that recognizes every file that any of the running programs reads or writes, and logs everything it sees.

There is a tool called Process Monitor created by sysinternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx which will monitor files and logs, it will show which process is performing operations. This should help you do what you need



I love the applications made by sysinternals, they make the computing world such a better place to work.
