I did but wasn't able to find what I specifically needed...!!

It's hard to know what you specifically need as you haven't explained.

Well you are not going to find the exact code. But there are samples of how to logoff from within a C# application. Look again.

Malee-Ha 27-Oct-15 9:44am

Yes I do have that but I need alteration in the code which I'm not able to do.

Can you please go through this code and tell me how to create acc. to my need?

Richard MacCutchan 27-Oct-15 10:02am

What do you mean? The sample code is complete, you just add it to the section of your application at the appropriate place.

what I want is that when I try to click on a specific folder for ex: E:\Picture it should log off the windows. I don't know how to put such condition in the code.

Milkdog · Answer 2 · 2015-10-27T07:43:00

If you already have the code you need to log-off the current user then all you need to monitor the directory or directories you desire is to use a FileSystemWatcher.

See this link:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher(v=vs.110).aspx

Set your filters accordingly

watcher.Path = "C:\\SomeFolder";
watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite
| NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;

Capture the the LastAccess in your event handler and execute your log-off code.

Altrough your question makes little sense, shutting down windows is not complicated at all, you have got several answers in the posted comments.
The interesting part is to get notified about file operation. File system watchers are just not for that. You could enable object access auditing[^] and watch for events in the event log. But you can also monitor file handles, like here: http://vmccontroller.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/47386#195318[^]

You have no way of knowing if someone "clicks on a certain folder".

What you ask does not make any sense. Why would you want to do this anyway?
