Is there a property, method or object in the FSO that will monitor client
access to a specific folder on a file server, and pop-up a warning message
upon access. Let's say server \\myserver has a shared folder called myshare.
Does vbscript provide a method for executing a msgbox on the client machine
that accesses that folder? sort of like
myshare_onaccess
do this x,y,z...
msgbox "Files in this folder are deleted regularly"
etc etc

You can just customize the folder - R-click inside folder
and choose 'Customize this folder' and go through the
wizard - you could add a background image with the text you
wish to display or edit the folder.htt file. Try it out - a
lot simpler than implementing a script that would have to
be running all the time..

Thanks for trying.
Most of these users access the folder via a mapped drive letter, so they
never get to see the thumbnail view or web view of the root folder.
