Note that TJvChangeNotify in the JvChangeNotify unit makes use of the FindFirstChangeNotification API call; this is the MSDN documentation. Note it is a bit counter-intuitive: see the thread mentioned below on how to use it inside a while loop.

This thread explains the differences between the two API calls.
