Monitor network drive

[fattyfatpants]

My firm uses a Document Management System called SIAN that essentially eliminates all paper within the organization. Just a little background, SIAN is a SQL based ASP.Net application that runs on our local intranet. People are allowed to save documents to it either through the ASP interface or through "back dooring" documents using Windows Explorer. There is a service running called DMS Watcher that when a document is "back doored" it catalogues it and allows it to be seen within the ASP application. Now to my problem...we are trying to forcefully nudge people to use the ASP interface rather than Windows Explorer and it isn't working. DMS Watcher does not allow us any audit trails to see who is not using SIAN correctly. I would like to write a solution that would in effect monitor the SIAN server and gather the user who misusing the app and also the filename so they can get trained correctly. Any ideas?? Our networking envrionment is Windows 2000/2003 Server w/AD and SIAN is on a 2003 box with SQL 2000. Thanks, and sorry for the long winded question/statement.

fattyfatpants,
What about writing an app that will look like the regualar short cut that the user would be using that will write your required information to a db then launch the app. Then just replace the ICON they use to access the software with you "mock" ICON.
