You cannot. There is no such concept as "opened folder". You can detect if some file is open or not, but for the folder it simply makes no sense.

There is sth named enumWindowsProc that can return list of all of the folders and files which they r opened o executed. so we have a concept named opened folders. i just want to check sth in the folders when they r opened. any idea can be so helpful. tnx

bye the way, do u know the way to find the path of a directory when someone opens it MR professor.

Please stop your gibberish. Of course you know, and maybe I'll answer if you ask a sensible question. Start from this: what do you think is "open a directory". There is no such thing, so there is nothing to capture.
