I just ran Process Monitor (by Sys Internals) for the first time on this Win7 RTM machine to figure out the paths VS2008 uses when compiling (so i can exclude them from my AV).
Check this out ....

WTF? Every 6 seconds (or so), it's trying to CreateFile at some invalid path. If u notice (in the pic) i've turned off all details EXCEPT the file system activity.
Anyone have any idea's what is going on?
EDIT: Took another screenie with clearer info.
EDIT 2: Can anyone else replicate this? If so, please add a comment if u can.
EDIT 3: Could it be because of a plugin i have? eg. Resharper?
The CreateFile function is not just for creating files, but also for opening existing files and directories for reading.
