Hello JD.

Yes, I've implemented a version of the program using
"FindFirstChangeNotification" and the " FindNextChangeNotification".
However, these report only that the type of change being monitored has
occurred but not which files underwent that change. Therefore, I have to
keep the relevant data about the files in memory and iterate through both
the directory and that list till I find either new file(s) or altered
files.

Whereas "ReadDirectoryChangesW" reports which files have changed and what
the change is. It seems much better suited for the job at hand.

All the examples I have looked at are in quite complicated projects which
obscures the basic functionality.

If someone could get me started on the "asynchronously" use of
"ReadDirectoryChangesW" I'd merrily on my way, I believe.

Regards,

Rod.
