      Can I install a program that will run in the background and give me reports
      on how long specific applications/files were open on my computer?




A good idea that is significantly flawed. If you have a program open, but are not using it, you would be recorded as being active in it. Phone rings, you answer it and talk for 20 minutes with a client, while the other client is being billed for his open brochure on the computer.

If they could make a program that would monitor activity in a program, and only record time if there was a keystroke or mouse move every minute or so, it would be better, but then you would loose out on time you might spend doing something away from the computer ... even staring into space and letting your mind come up with an idea (which is a billable task).
