Get the information of the file which is get added/modified/deleted anywhere on computer
-
I have used ReadDirectoryChangesW with recursive for sub-folders and watched changes in "c:\". It gave me output for a while and suddenly Microsoft thrown dialog something like "Not responding".... Is their anyway to "Get the information of the file which is get added/modified/deleted anywhere on computer" Thanks In advance..... :)

So are you not using
ReadDirectoryChangesW()correctly?

I am using "ReadDirectoryChangesW()" and gave "C:\" as path. The file changes were so fast. It gave me output for about 200-250 notifications tentatively.... And after it "Not Responding" - "Send A report To Microsoft Dialog" Now What should I use to "Get the information of the file which is get added/modified/deleted anywhere on computer" Can I have sample code for it or something like that Thanks For Reply... :)

The information is contained in the second argument passed to
ReadDirectoryChangesW(). It's in the format of aFILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATIONstruct.

Yes Sir, I am using "FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION" struct but my problem is I want to find the changed file Inforamtion that has changed ANYWHERE on computer. ReadDirectoryChangesW()takes first parameter as path - where to search. But now here I want to search for change ANYWHERE on the computer Thanks In advance...:)

What's wrong with:
ReadDirectoryChangesW(hFolder, pBuffer, dwbufLen, TRUE, ...);

ReadDirectoryChangesW(hFolder, pBuffer, dwbufLen, TRUE, ...); takes first argument as "hFolder" == Name of Folder But I wanted to track whole computer (C:\,D:\E:\ etc). File can be copied, added, deleted etc anywhere on the computer (C:\,D:\E:\ ) I dont know........ :) So here what should be given as a value for "hFolder" then ???? I tried with "C:\" as argument for "hFolder" but it worked for 200-250 files and get crashed OR "NotResponding" messgae from Windows making application to close. :( But here my argument should not be C:\ or D:\ or something like that, coz I want to handle event for all of them.... So what should be done in this case..... Can u again review my question Please ???? There was again Specific requirement that only ".jpg" file should be tracked. i.e. another application can add, delete or change .jpg file anywhere on the computer (C:\, d:\, E:\ etc) I dont know..... This could be greate help if u can explain what should be done or any sort of code for it. Thanks Again for previous replies.... :) and Thanks in Advance toooo :)
