Suppose you have an application on a Windows XP PC that is accessing jpeg files from a share folder on a Windows 7 PC. I need to see which of those files have been opened recently, and I would prefer not to edit registry settings to enable 'NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate' as described here: The last access date is not changed even after reading the file on Windows 7

Would checking the 'Recent Items' folder for lnk files in Windows 7 work - even though it is being opened from the XP machine?

In Windows Explorer, right-click on the header (where "Name", "Size" etc. are displayed) and select More... and add the column "Date accessed". You can sort and search on that field.
