I have written a program (named ShareMonitor) that allows you to monitor any access to your network shared files. When a user remotely opens shared files on your computer, application detects it and displays information such as who opened it, when it was opened, duration, etc. about that file. All details will be logged and can be saved to .CSV or .XML files for further analysis.
You can also disconnect any active connection whenever you want.
For more details and source code, visit ShareMonitor’s Code Project page.
