Versions History

Version 1.86:
Fixed OpenedFilesView to send the data to stdout when specifying an empty string (e.g: OpenedFilesView.exe /scomma "" ).

Known Issues

OpenedFilesView cannot close files opened by Windows kernel.

How does it work ?
OpenedFilesView uses the NtQuerySystemInformation API to enumerate all handles in the system. After filtering non-file handles, it uses a temporary device driver - NirSoftOpenedFilesDriver.sys for reading the information about each handle from the kernel memory. This device driver is automatically unloaded from the system when you exit from OpenedFilesView utility.

Using OpenedFilesView
OpenedFilesView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. In order to start using it, just run the executable file - OpenedFilesView.exe
The main window of OpenedFilesView display the list of all files currently opened in your system. In order to refresh the list of opened files, press F5, or alternatively, use the Auto Refresh feature (Options -> Auto Refresh -> Every x seconds) in order to automatically refresh the opened files list every 1 - 5 seconds.

Explorer Context Menu
Starting from version 1.10, you can launch OpenedFilesView directly from Windows Explorer, and view only the handles of the file or folder that you want to inspect.
In order to enable this feature, check the 'Enable Explorer Context Menu' under the Options menu. After you enable this feature, you can right-click on any file or folder on Windows Explorer, and choose the 'OpenedFilesView' item from the menu.
If you run the OpenedFilesView option for a folder, it'll display all opened files inside that folder.
If you run the OpenedFilesView option for a file, it'll display all opened handles for that file.

Sort On Refresh: If this option is selected, new opened files (after refresh) are added to the right position according to the current column sort. If this option is not selected, new opened files are added to the end of the opened files list.

Watch specific application with Drag & Drop
If you want to view only the opened files of specific application instead of the entire system, you can drag the target icon of the toolbar into the window of the desired application. Whenever you want to view all opened files again, simply use the 'Clear File/Process Filters' option.

You can specify the '~' prefix character (e.g: "~Created Time") if you want to sort in descending order. You can put multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by multiple columns.

Examples:
