Hi all,
Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong forum.
I have a VBscript that monitors a folder for new files
And if it detects new files it will move them to another folder.
My question is
Can I convert the VBscript to a .exe so as it can run as a service.
Or is there another way to accomplish my goal.


Never had a need to do this myself, but apparently many others have...

You might also be able to use WMI to monitor the folder. See this link:
