I have a mixed bag of files on my server and I need to know who created them.
Is there any way in .Net to work out who created the file? As in a network name or mac address or anything that will identify the creator?
I would guess this stuff is stored in the NTFS (windows 2k btw) but I need a .Net class that can access this.
System.IO.FileInfo doesn't seem to go far enough.
Unfortunately there is no .NET class to access the NTFS stream or the info specific to it.
ACK!
The closest to any insite that I have seen into how to dive into the NTFS stream is in C++ and even that was hard to come by. Unless you mean Office Documents specifically which can be accessed via an OLE object of some sort.
So I second your 'ACK!' but if you find anything I'd love to hear it too.
The Windows 2000 Resource Kit has a command line utility called
DiskUse
that produces output like :-

Its not open source and the command line options are limited but its somewhere to start.
