Document Access Count

Good morning all!

I am currently going through a folder of 500+ word documents used by my department here. It would make my job easier if I could somehow count how often each doucment is accessed. That way when I am rebuilding doucments I can rebuild the most common ones first, and the ones that don't get used - I needn't worry about rebuilding!

I am quite comfortable with batch scripts, vbscripts and the like, but am unsure of what attribute of the file to count upon...

I have tried viewing additional file details for all the documents, but in XP, the number of times a document is accessed is not recorded.

As a crude measure I even thought of somehow monitoring the folder, then piping the name of the accessed doucment out to a text file. Then I'd compile them in Excel or Access and count how many times the document name appears... But how do I count how often it has been accessed?
