If you're in the Dot Net world google FileSystemWatcher

So even if an open method is available, choose a proprietary one instead?

I'm not a Dot Net expert, but from the name of the function (or
class or facility or whatever it is), I am assuming this is one
of those systems where you can request to be automatically
notified when certain changes to the filesystem take place.
That means without polling. Which would mean that, while it's
not portable, it is technically superior to anything that would
be completely portable.
