Event-based Folder Actions
Posted by FASTWRX on November 21st, 2007


I'm looking to find a solution that will "alert" users of specific files
dropped to a folder. My thoughts are to change folder characteristics such
as color, icon or even send an automated message. (this would be fantastic)
I'm not seeing a way in XP to do this - but thought I'd check. If possible,
any software add-on recommendations would be appreciated. I've given an
example below in logic form of how I'd like it to work.

FolderName = 70046 ABC Company
When 'FileA' is added to '70046 ABC Company', (Notify/change folder option)

Could this be done through VB Scripting? This would be done on a windows
server or a network attached storage device. Any advice or direction would
be greatly appreciated.
