can I hook the delete message?

[WebStar]

I wanna make a programm that doesn't allow an user to delete a file or a directory. I think that I should hook the delete system messasge and replace it or ban it! Anyone has an ideea?

System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class will allow you to catch a file delete event. Don't know how you will be able to catch a beforeDelete event. You could keep a backup copy somewhere and then copy a new version in if it gets deleted.

Whatever you do you will need a persistent process such as a Windows service to be running to monitor the events and react accordingly.
