File Watcher Simple

When you want to keep an eye on the activity from specific folders, you can rely on File Watcher Simple. It can help you track all types of changes that might affect the files or subfolders in any chosen directory.

The application does not require any installation and does not add any keys to the Windows Registry, so you can run it without any worries.

In order to benefit from its functions, you first need to create a filter where you specify the name of folder you want to monitor, as well as the type of changes you are interested in.

More precisely, you can set File Watcher Simple to log whenever a file gets modified, created or deleted. The application can also monitor the file attributes and record all the changes that occur to them, including modifications of the file size, the last access or creation dates as well as alterations to the filename.

File Watcher Simple can launch a process whenever a change is detected within your monitored folder if you are not satisfied with the background monitoring that quietly saves a log that you can later analyze.

To ensure that your computer is not suddenly put under too much pressure, you can limit the number of notifying processes as you see fit. More experienced users can also specify process arguments to fine-tune the notification process.

To sum it up, File Watcher Simple can come in handy even if you are a novice looking to receive a notification whenever a change occurs in any of the folders you selected or just save a log in the background with all the modifications. However, if you are an expert, you can make the most of the application’s functions and tweak it according to your exact requirements.
