Is this possible?

Hi all, I'am thinking if there's someway i can call an vb exe file when i try to access a certain folder, like at first your gonna select a folder where you're goin to bind your exe, then when u try to access that folder your exe will be launched instead of windows showing the content of that folder...

I doubt that is possible, if it is, it would involve a system wide hook. Not sure you can hook on the opening of a folder.

I don't know of any way to do this. It MAY be possible by writing a Shell Extension (warning! This involves LOTS of COM interop), but I don't know of any examples that are triggered by the selection of a folder, or anything else for that matter.

I don't know if this would work, but if you were to hide the folder and create a shortcuct to your program with the shortcut named the folder name and the folder icon. So when the user clicks on the what they think is the folder, it opens your program, and say, if your program is already open, it just redirects to the folder or something.
