- Create a .txt file of directory paths you would like to monitor

- Pass in the path to the .txt file using the -pF command. Example: -pF <./dir_paths.txt> 

- Wait to see if the files are accessed

- Windows Alert box will pop up if any file in the specified directories are accessed or altered

- Fully implemented process monitoring & logging

- Ongoing logging both in the background, and upon file access

- Simple, lightweight, and highly effective
