Checking a folder all the time

neltan, there are two parts to this. One yes is that you should run the application as a service, the other is that you should use the FindFirstChangeNotification api call to watch the specified folder for changes, this the api that windows itself uses to identify changes to files/folders.

Here is a starter sample for the findfirstchangenotification:

Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES = &H4
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIR_NAME = &H2
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_FILE_NAME = &H1
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE = &H8
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE = &H10
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY = &H100
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ALL = &H4 Or &H2 Or &H1 Or &H8 Or &H10 Or &H100
Private Declare Function FindFirstChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" Alias "FindFirstChangeNotificationA" (ByVal lpPathName As String, ByVal bWatchSubtree As Long, ByVal dwNotifyFilter As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindCloseChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hChangeHandle As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindNextChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hChangeHandle As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hHandle As Long, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ResetEvent Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hEvent As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 2000
    'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
    'E-Mail: KPDTeam@Allapi.net
    Dim Ret As Long
    'Set the notification hook
    Ret = FindFirstChangeNotification("C:\", &HFFFFFFFF, FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ALL)
    'Wait until the event is triggered
    WaitForSingleObject Ret, &HFFFFFFFF
    MsgBox "Event Triggered for the first time"
    'Reactivate our hook
    FindNextChangeNotification Ret
    'Wait until the event is triggered
    WaitForSingleObject Ret, &HFFFFFFFF
    MsgBox "Event Triggered for the second time"
    'Remove our hook
    FindCloseChangeNotification Ret
End Sub

You will need to modify this to copy the referenced file using its file handle.

Would you please explain your program briefly? I cannot understand.

Or How can I create a exe or dll which will be run by service?

Thank you everyone!
