Is there a Windows-plugin informing you about new content in a certain folder?

Question

To be more precise: Is there a plugin for Windows Explorer informing you by a pop-up window that there is new content in a certain folder?

I need a software for windows explorer informing you when somebody in a Windows network saves a file into one of your folders but doesn't tell you about it. Does anyone know a tool providing that function?

Answer 1

There are 2 candiates for you to consider.

1- Folder Monitor - Folder Content Change Monitor Component
Folder Monitor (TFolderMonitor component) allows you to monitor any disk folder content. All you need is to set the Folder property and activate component by the Active property.

(This is more as a programming tool helper actually)
2- watchDirectory
WatchDirectory is a program that monitors (watches) folders on Windows computers. When a change inside the monitored directory is detected, watchDirectory starts the task you have configured for this event. Tasks are performed by running a plugin. An example of a task would be copying the new file to another directory.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

nope, because you will need your hdd indexed for this, and compared evry time somebody writes something.
but is very easy to do your own program to monitor folders.
