$fil = '*.*'

$fsw = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher $fld, $fil -Property @{includeSubDirectories= $true;notifyFilter = [IO.notifyFilters] 'filename,lastwrite,lastaccess,directoryname'}

$fsw2 = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher $fld2, $fil -Property @{includeSubDirectories= $true;notifyFilter = [IO.notifyFilters] 'filename,lastwrite,lastaccess,directoryname'}

#monitor folder 1 for object created

Register-ObjectEvent $fsw created -SourceIdentifier filecreated -Action {
