It only tells you that a chance has occured, but not what the change actually is. If you need that information, then you should use SHChangeNotifyRegister() instead. When a change occurs, you are provided with the ITEMIDLIST for the affect file(s). An ITEMIDLIST is the OS's internal version of a filename, but much more flexible. If you want to know the filename that changed, you can pass the ITEMIDLIST to SHGetPathFromIDList(). Gambit
