Hi there GeneWitch. Thanks for your post. "i'm trying to think if there's third party stuff you could install on all the workstations that would be able to signal when they opened a file as read/write, created a new file, or deleted an existing one. This seems like it would be a better solution than...

bmoneil, thank you very much for your post. You are right: i never configured filesystemwatcher's buffer size. And, actually, the behaviour of the error matchs that possible mistake: some guy drop files in the directory, FSW detects a few file operations, it stops detecting at some "random" point, and...

I've put it here, though, complete with a couple edits for length and readability. (edit: after I finished I realized I made it slightly longer. I am really really sorry...

Yeah, that stupid plug-and-play frenzy is just evil - and some people even advertise how intrusive their software is ("all you've got to do is run the CD..."). My worst experience was with a British ISP (an ISP! What's an ISP's business on my system?!) that rhymes with Yahoo. They would send us a modem...
