Crashes and locks up My PC in every version I have tried.

Just another great program from Nirsoft..very handy.

Particularly useful since it keeps a log in the main window of files that get deleted immediately following creation, which allows one to see more of what is occurring than merely looking at files that have remained searchable on the disk.

Sadly, the Sleep indicators do not show at all under WinXP...:-(
