How to log Excel and Word filenames open by me since 1 or 2 days?
Currently, I have written VB.net program named Extract-Working-Time
that read Windows SECURITY event.
This program work correctly and extract all actions I have done on my PC.
In event viewer LOG extraction, I can see that Excel or Word has been loaded but I don't find which files has been treated. I can only seen that Excel has been loaded.
2019-01-22 16:43:45; 4688;WW930 ;A424947 ; 13312;(13312) ;C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficerootOffice16EXCEL.EXE;
Now, I will go a step further and search how to find the name of all Excel or Word files I have loaded in Excel or Word.
When I have the solution, I can then improve VB.Net program to include Excel and Word filenames in my report to document what I have done each working day.
Is there some logs of what is done in Excel and Word that I can use to create a report ?

You can monitor file links in the %AppData%MicrosoftWindowsRecent folder.
Yes this is a solution but I can not see when I have worked with some files because I have only the date of the last update.
