Monitor Hard drive for new files created

Question

I am not sure if there is any utility which monitors hard drive for any new files getting created.

I am using one application that creates many files on my hard drive but I am not sure how can I monitor those newly created files.

BTW I am using Windows VISTA x64 machine.

Thanks in advance !

@Paulo I mean I wanted a notification of newly created files. — Hiren, Apr 18 '11 at 16:14

If you prefer .net, then use FileSystemWatcher.

If you are a programmer and know Python, you should check https://fascinator.usq.edu.au/trac/wiki/Watcher

It monitors folders/directory for file changes i.e. created, deletion, modification.

Check out the FileSystemWatcher class. It will help you by notifying you when something in a particular directory has changed.
