I am not sure about this but this is what I would do/try,

have a C# program which starts up on logon Open C# application on log on or just have your program running in some way and use FileSystemWatcher Class you can make use of LastAccess notify filter and have your C# code get executed . 

    // Create a new FileSystemWatcher and set its properties.
    FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
    watcher.Path = "folder path";

     /* Watch for changes in LastAccess and LastWrite times, and
       the renaming of files or directories. */
    watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess;

    // add event handler

Hope this helps.
