NetworkOpenedFiles works on any version of Windows, from Windows XP and all the way up to Windows 10, including Windows Servers, with support to both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. It actually works the best on a server that hosts a lot of files on a network but doesn’t necessary need to be running on a server. Go to Options → Advanced Options, select Load opened network files from remote computer option from the list and type in the name of the file server you want to monitor.
