Hello all, long time no see. I have a question. I am making a program that uses a FileSystemWatcher. Problem is I need it to watch for than one path or drive. Say someone has two HDD', and they want to watch both of them for activty. How I do that? This is what I got thus far, and it aint working.

(Toggle Plain Text)

Private Sub btnfolder_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnfolder.Click
        watcher.Path = lstdrives.CheckedItems.ToString
    End Sub

What am I doing wrong? Please help.
