Hi,
I am new to windows programming, ( however I have extensive experience in web technologies using php and mysql), so am asking for a little help from the experts.
I want to alter the windows nt os program so that when i overwrite a .txt file, a copy of it goes to my achive directory. Can you help know how such prgorgam can be written, I mean which application to use , from where to download the freeware (if available), where to get help on the programming language.
Thanks in Advance

Once you have that, create a simple app with a FileSystemWatcher in it. This is essentially a function to watch a file and when a change occurs to it, it will do whatever you've programmed it to do, in this case take a copy of the file whenever it is changed. More informative info on the FileSystemWatcher class here:

Hope this helps, Dai
