Can I get the file info which changes in a specified directory using FindFirstChangeNotification and FindNextChangeNofication instead of ReadDirectoryChangesW?

Question

I want to monitor upon a specified directory and if there's any file or subdirectory changes, I can be notified. I realize the function with the following simple code segment:

UINT myThreadFunc(LPVOID pParam)
{
  int changeCount = 0;

  while(true)
  {
 HANDLE changeHandle = FindFirstChangeNotification(L"C:\\", TRUE, FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_FILE_NAME);
 WaitForSingleObject(changeHandle, INFINITE);
 cout<<"A modifaction has occured"<<endl;
 changeCount++;

 if (changeCount >= 10)
  break;
 if ( FindNextChangeNotification( changeHandle ) == FALSE )
  break;
  }
  bIsExit = TRUE;
  return 0;
}

Now I want to retrieve the file information such as Action type or FileName. How can I get this information? I don't want to use ReadDirectoryChangesW function.

Thank you very much!

MSDN states :

This function does not indicate the change that satisfied the wait condition. To retrieve information about the specific change as part of the notification, use the ReadDirectoryChangesW function.(check link text)
