Yes I did notice that you could turn the atime off so it's reliable. Luckily enough I managed to get my hands on the long lost Win32::AdvNotify package which you can find at http://idnopheq.perlmonk.org/perl/packages. I then wrote up a little script (see below) that tells you when a change occurs, what type of change it is and what file/folder was affected - it's simply grand !!! Thanks for your input and here's my code : NB: you need Win32::API and Data::Dumper as well as the Win32::AdvNotify packages.
