I hope this is doable, so here it goes.

I have created a .bat file that i want to launch everytime a file or folder gets created or modified inside c:\monitor.

I assume the only way this is possible is to creat a service that runs and monitors the folder...but i have no clue. I am looking for any input or ideas on how to do this or if it is possible.

Thank you

What does the batch file do?
There are plenty of free programs out there to monitor file and folder changes but I am not sure if they will launch a batch file.

Couple more programs in this post, as well as links to VBScripts to monitor a folder:

Currently the .bat file just calls another program to run but i will be adding more stuff to it.
I basically just am trying to get the monitor part working first to recognize the change then call the .bat file everything after that is a breeze.

This will monitor a directory tree for changes.
Set the interval to check the tree in the Set _Delay line. The value is in seconds.

@Echo Off
Set _Delay=10
Set _Folder=E:\Scripts
Set _Base=%temp%\BaselineState.dir
Set _Chck=%temp%\ChkState.dir
Set _OS=6
Ver|Findstr /I /C:"Version 5">Nul
If %Errorlevel%==0 Set _OS=5 & Set /A _Delay=_Delay*1000
:_StartMon
Call :_SetBaseline "%_Base%" "%_Folder%"
:_MonLoop
If %_OS%==5 (Ping 1.0.0.0 -n 1 -w %_Delay%>Nul) Else Timeout %_Delay%>Nul
Call :_SetBaseline "%_Chck%" "%_Folder%"
FC /A /L "%_Base%" "%_Chck%">Nul
If %ErrorLevel%==0 Goto _MonLoop
::
