System Change Log is a security software tool that installs a system service whose purpose is to record all the activity that takes place on your disks' file system and report it in a much easier way than the standard Windows auditing system does. System Change Log is totally independent from the standard Windows service, though they can complement each other when both are active.
This program does not install any shortcuts on your desktop or quick launch area, but you can access its configuration application through the Windows Control Panel. Of course, you can also manually start and stop the service, or configure it to run automatically when Windows starts, the same way as any other system services.
Its configuration tool consists of a classic standard window with a tabbed design that allows you to access the different configurable areas of the service - Paths, Files, Text log, Event viewer, CSV (comma-separated values), Syslog, and Statistics. Among the most important and useful attributes you can configure, I should mention the ones included in the Paths tab, where you can select what specific folders or drives the service should monitor, and what actions to track, including file creation, deletion, change, rename, attribute changes, NTFS stream changes, and security changes. You can also track user information (who did what) if the Windows standard auditing service is active. more
