Intercepting requests to open files & folders

[ForumAccount]

I'm trying to create something that will intercept requests to open a file or folder in Windows Explorer. So far, the only thing I can come up with is that I need to make a file system filter driver. Is this the easiest way to accomplish what I'm after? If so, does anyone know of any good literature on creating one?

Try

Process.Start("Explorer.exe", FileName)
'where FileName is your File or Folder name

pvbangera - I think you have got the wrong idea, all that code does is opens a file. ForumAccount is talking about having his code run every time ANY file is opened through explorer.

ForumAccount - are you using a server operating system?
