  Hi All,
  
  I'm just starting to look at the Sync framework and am seriously impressed and a bit daunted.
  
  I'm looking to use the framework in a really simple way at the moment and lot of the examples seem more complex than my needs.
  
  I want to use the framework to simply provide my application with a list of directories where the contents i'm interested in have changed.  I don't want to even move files around, am not concerned with the file contents either.
  
  My application is interested in about 160 file types and I want to monitor directories for new ones, moved ones or deleted ones.
  
  Should there be any changes I just want Sync to keep a note of its location and at the end of the Sync session send a List<string> of the changed directories back to my app to then perform its processing.
  
  Is the Sync framework a little overkill for this?  I'm just looking at the ManagedNTFSSample with a confused look!
  
  Does anyone have any pointers to good sources of info on performing such a task?
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  James.
