Hi all, I wrote a Python script that I need to have installed on Windows Server 2003 R2, that will run when a specific directory is changed in any way (new files, deleted files, etc).

Hi, We have a Windows Service as part of our software, this is used to transfer data to a remote database in the background even when there is no user logged into the system.
