Hi,
I'd like to implement an automatic version control system using folder events. Do they exist, is this possible?
E.G. a folder contains files which are named following a naming convention i.e. first 4 chars are alpha, 2nd 4 numeric which are incremented sequentially for each new file added.
I'd like a folder 'event' or 'trigger' to activate a small VB program or batch file (this will check all filenames for duplicated 1st 4 chars and move the oldest to another folder). The VB proggy or batch file will be easy.
Can anyone point me to NT folder events/triggers, do they even exist?
Thanks in advance,
Darrylle
