title: File System watcher in Windows Service or Console Application?
body: <p>I am implementing a file system watcher, my requirement is to watch for a given local folder on a machine and then do a small task (for example open a certain page in web browser). The file(s) in the given directory would be generated randomly sometimes every two hours or four etc.   This tool should be automated in the sense that a user does not have to start it.   So my question is, Should I implement this in a windows service which always will be running or in a console application.Preference is to do it in a console application but then it would need to started by a user right?  Please advice</p>
