You can customize it to do whatever you want, i.e., log, play sound,
show an alert, etc. The alerts are configurable...you can make the
alert show as much or as little info as you want....

It seems that the original site is down. If you (or anyone else)
download it from somewhere else, can you report the version number?
The one I have is 1.4.2 and I'd like to know if there is a more
recent one, especially since we do not know whether the original site
will be up again....

Go to the properties of the item, click on the action tab, and edit
the "message" section for the popup action or the "list" section for
the log action. In the help file, there is a section titled
"variables" which describes what you can put there. You just need to
be a little careful because it's easy to make mistakes when you
specify the variables but you can make it show any info you want. You
might want to test and adjust accordingly until you get it to
show/log what you want.

Thanks once again EA. I found that edit box but havent a clue what
variable to put in there so that it will tell me of the exact changes
that occured.Ill have to check the help files or readme txt again.

Yes, you definitely need to read the help files otherwise it will not
make sense. Even then, it takes a little bit of testing to fine-tune
it exactly the way you want. It sounds a bit complex at first but
that's because the program is so configurable... One suggestion that
I have, which you might/might not find useful, is to avoid using one
item to check for all types of changes (deletions, modifications,
etc.). Instead, make a separate item to check for changed files, a
separate item to check for files added, etc. That keeps each item as
simple as possible and it makes it easier to edit/define the edit
boxes. For example, for checking added files in the system folder
and logging such additions, I have:

%SysDate="yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss" %Path %Added="[+]" %(%File="N.E"; %) %
Chr="10"

Since that particular item checks a specific folder, I made it list
the path only once so that, if several files were added, it does not
repeat the path for each filename in the log. So, if 2 files are
added, it creates an entry like this in the log:

2005-03-05 16:37:09 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 [+] test1.txt; test2.txt;


After you create each item and you define the actions, test it by
creating/changing/deleting some test files to make sure that the
alerts and the log are what you want.

I hope that helps...
