Hello Friends,

Is there any way to detect when user selects a file and presses CTRL
+C or select copy from the context menu.

I found that IFileOperationProgressSink will notify when a copy
operation is about to begin but i am looking for a way to get notified
when user selects a file for copying from windows shell explorer.


Please advice,

Thanks in advance,
Joe

A reasonable idea that comes to my mind is to embed a hook into windows
explorer. Search the web for various ways of how to hook into this or that
application.
