Registering for windows rename event

pek
Is it possible, in any way, to "listen" when a user tries to rename a
file in windows explorer? For example, if someone has a file named
test.txt in a folder test and tries to rename it to test2.txt, can I
create a program that will popup BEFORE the renaming completes and do
something about it? Let's say that I would like to popup a message to
verify the renaming of the file "Are you sure you want to rename C:
\test\test.txt to C:\test\test2.txt?".

When I say in any way, I mean:

a) using any .NET language (I currently only know VB.NET but I am
about to learn C#)
b) even using windows scripting language, services etc. etc.

Thank you,
Panagiotis
