Hi all,
I have an issue with the ReadDirectoryChangesW API. This API is notifying the client program as soon as i initiate a new file creation using the Windows explorer. In other words, a new file notification is fired even before the new file is actually created on the disk. This is also the case when a huge file is being copied to the watched directory over the network. The notification should only be recieved after the copying is complete and not before that. But this API fires the 'new file added' notification as soon as the copying operation is initiated.

i will really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

Thanks and regards,
dc
