Message prompt/alert when opening a folder in windows directory

Hi

I believe it is possible, for a message/alert to appear when a user double clicks on a folder in a windows directory. This prompt could be to alert the user of the contents of the folder or anything like this, before it is actually opened?

Any thoughts please.

No, you can't do that. You can define some folder background or preview file, to display something in the preview or background area, but with conventional folder view there will be nothing displayed.

hi Qlemo

I didnt realise you had posted a reply, sorry. so your saying we can use some kind of preview file? could you explain further
I'm trying at my best, but since I have all such features disabled as far as I can in my office, I could not manage to construct an example. I will try again with a different equipment, but this might last a bit - stay patient, please.
ok, thanks...
