Determine when file is added to folder...
« on: October 06, 2006, 09:09:41 AM »
Is there a way I can be alerted by the O/S as to when a new file is saved to a folder?  I guess I am looking for some sort of monitoring functionality.

Thanks!

    Assuming XP, very simple one.

    Code: [Select]
    D:\test>dir /A-D /B > file1.txt
    D:\test>dir /A-D /B > file2.txt
    D:\test>fc file1.txt file2.txt
    Comparing files file1.txt and FILE2.TXT
    ***** file1.txt
    ***** FILE2.TXT
