Windows' notification API gets an overflow (ERROR_NOTIFY_ENUM_DIR) if you change many files quickly, like during a copy/paste in explorer. You then have to re-scan the dir manually.
While rescanning, the files may continue to change. You may or may not get a subsequent event for a file that changed during your rescan.
