Is it possible to count the number of times a file has been accessed on Windows NT and also on Windows 2K. Preferably I would like to be able to determine the number of read accesses seperately from write accesses but total would be a start.

Enable auditing for the lokal policy of the computer/domain and configure auditing for each resource that you want to monitor.
Files and folders can be audited only in NTFS partition. For Win2000 you can audit "displaying the contents of file or folder" - reading, "changing the contents of file or folder" and "adding data to a folder" - writing, etc.
