  IMPORTANT NOTICE

Folder Watchdog Service 2 is a software application that provides users with a simple means of watching particular directories for all kinds of changes, and notifying you when they occur via e-mail or simply log the activity to a file.

The setup process is a breeze, as it does not offer to download any third-party products and it does not take longer than a few seconds. After completing it, you come face to face with a clean GUI, which contains a menu bar, a few buttons, a pane in which to view all watched folders and another one which displays details.

Although no Help contents are incorporated, we can safely say that all types of users can find their way around it without encountering any kind of issues.

This program enables you to easily watch folders for changes. To be more exact, you can monitor item count and real last write time, as well as check if a file still exists, a download is complete, an item has been modified and a file has been renamed using Regular Expressions and the list goes on.

When one of the aforementioned actions has been detected, it is possible to set up the utility to log the events to a file, send you a mail message and launch a specified executable file.

The monitoring process can be schedules according to your specifications, while it is also possible to clone or remove them, undo your actions, start and stop watching, and import and export configurations using XML files.

To sum up, Folder Watchdog Service 2 is a pretty efficient piece of software when it comes to watching directories for specified changes. The interface is accessible to all users and the computer’s performance is not affected at all. The response time is good and our tests did not reveal any errors, crashes or hangs.
