Another good directory / folder monitor:

Watch 4 Folder 2.2 is a simple to use, small and protable tool to monitor folders and file activities.
You can set a monitoring process with just 4 simple quick steps and then minimize the tool to the system tray.
It can monitor 15 different types of events and execute different actions in case of an event.
It is possible to write to a text log file and to watch a live log running.

After playing around with the software, and I like it,
even though it monitors only one directory, you can launch multiple instances of the program
using different ini files to watch mulitple directories simultaniously.
