Hi. you might check the MSDN documentation for ReadDirectoryChangesW and co. APIs. There are also some nice articles on CodeProject discussing this: - CDirectoryChangeWatcher [^] - Spying a file system[^]

If your application is going to be manipulating directories as well (creating, deleting, renaming items), be sure to use the
SHChangeNotify(...)function to notify the shell, if necessary. Peace!-=- James
