I am wondering if there is an API in windows that lets you subscribe for change information about a directory.
For example i would like my code to be informed if a file is added, changed, or deleted and which file it is. I know that i could keep a list of all the files in a directory and reguarly compare last update times. But this isn't the most efficient use of resources.
Thanks Barney
