Solved: File creator finder.
I am looking for a program that will tell you what is creating a file. Example: If I make a word doc and then run this program on it, it would tell me that Microsoft Word created it. The reason: I had a problem with a virus creating a file. Every time I tried to delete the file it would just return. I would like a program that I could run and it would point me in the right direction of where to find the program creating the infected file. Thanks.

I'll have to wait and see if it works the next chance I get, but handle looks like it might do what I need. Thanks.
