i want to be notified when when user trys to open a file from the explorer.
How could this be done? I tired hooking some winapi in the explorer.exe with no hope.
I also want to intercept this call and cancel it.

Why do you want to detect explorer creating a process? Any process can create a process? – David Heffernan Feb 21 '16 at 22:46

Vote to reopen. "Launch from Explorer" is a Shell operation, and the supposed duplicate is far broader (covers all launches). Obviously, in this case an answer which stops _all_ programs from executing breaks the OS. – MSalters Feb 22 '16 at 10:31

You might want to have a look at a similar question: Intercept windows open file
Also for the people asking why someone would want to do this or immediately jump to malware conclusions. There are a number of legitimate uses for this. Especially if you are creating a B2B product that deals with automation or control over a customer's PC environment.
