Q: 

How to detect a progam calling "OpenFile" and what the name/path of the file is?

I have a program (just exe) that is not able to OpenFile.

Its a log file to write to so I just need to place an empty file.

But I don't know the name or location of it, and have dug around the registry and ini and inf files to no avail.

-Should I use a system hook? FileWatcher, And ideas would be appreciated.

A: 

The Process Monitor tool will let you see which files a program is using in real time.

Aye, i've tried using that.The problem is that the program is trying to OpenFile, and it fails (the file is not present)As its trying to open a log file, if I can provide a blank file, it will open it and write to it, but i don't know the name of it.
