I need to develop an application in vb.net that does the following.

Watch a number of Folders for a particular file constantly. the file with an extension .CON.  The Folders would be from a root folder. eg

C:\TTH\TTH01
 \TTH02
 \TTH03
etc...

Once a file is found a form is displayed and a label is displayed which shows a count up to a 100000.  Also another label shows the Folder name where the .CON file was found and the name of the .CON file.  Once the count reaches the 100000 then the form unloads.
But while this happens the Watch process continues looking for any other .CON files and any subsequent files found then the same happens again i.e. a form is displayed as described above.
So in effect if 3 .CON files were to be found then 3 forms would be displayed eacj counting upto 100000 displaying the .CON file and Folder names.

hope someone could point me in the right direction.

many thanks
