Phillip,

You could create a script application to run at log in that checks the modification date of the Drop Box folder. It could store the previous modification date as a property so a comparison could be made. It could then notify you via dialog, beep, or speech that there was a change in the Drop Box.

As for the scheduling part, you could try a scheduling application I publish called Script Timer. Just click on the Shareware and Freeware button on the web site in my sig. You could schedule your script application to run every 30 minutes with Script Timer. Script Timer has a simple drag and drop interface, so is very easy to use. Of course, you could also write your own Stay Open Script Application with its own idle handler to do the periodic checking.

HTH,

Don

I would like to have a script notify me on log in if anything new
appears in my Drop Box under my Public folder. I would like this also
to pop open dialog box every 30 minutes if not checked. How do I start
and apply this to the folder?

Thanks
