    In Win98, system tools\Net Watcher listed which files were being accessed by which workstation. Is there a similar program in XP?

    It seems that the definition of a "net watcher" changed between 98 and XP. In XP, a search for "net watcher" leads to a "status" display... stuff about bytes sent and received, but no info about which users are connected.
    I stumbled across the information I was looking for in ctrl panel\admin tools\computer management\shared folders\sessions. Unlike the W98 net watcher, you have to get out of the screen and go back in to get it to refresh, and it doesn't show opened files (that's in shared folders\files).
