Intercepting the Move command in Windows

Question

I am working on a plugin for a document tagging software. I would like to intercept the MOVE operation in Windows explorer , and let the tagging software handle it instead .

I was thinking about Hooks, DLL injection . The MOVE can be initiated by several ways by the user, and I need to intercept all of them.

Does anyone have other ideas. It would be nice if you can post some example links too.

TIA

Sujay

Detours is the wrong solution for this problem.

Instead, consider using something like a FileSystemWatcher http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x7t1d0ky or a kernel-mode Filesystem filter driver.
