if you are using a Linux system you can use the following command:
the parameter 60 will show the files modified on the last 60 minutes, you can modify it.
the parameter -300 will show only the first 300 results, you can also modify it. if you want all the results use only:
the results will be written on the file /lastmodified.txt
PS: you have to be root to write on /
if you are not root redirect the results to another file, for example /tmp/lastmodified.txt
Code:
find / - mmin 60 -printf "%AD %Ar - %p\n" 2> /dev/null | head -300 | sort -r > /lastmodified.txtthe parameter 60 will show the files modified on the last 60 minutes, you can modify it.

execute the command without the "2> /dev/null" part and see if you get error messages
