Replacing the default File copy Dialog

Question

i'm trying to replace the default file copy dialog with my own program, which I want to create with vb.net.

My problem: Where can I enter my application path to start automatically (and parse arguments/paths) when the user copies and/or pastes files?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

In order to monitor a file path I would suggest using FileSystemWatcher Class. This will monitor a folder for any files that are copied and pasted to the location. There is a great example at the below link.
