Re: detect application launch & file change
Detecting application, you can do via named objects like mutex and all.
Regarding file notification, please go through below link:

A daemon is usually the best way to detect things like that. They are usually registered as a service and start on startup.

You could try:
FindFirstChangeNotification / FindFirstChangeNotification / FindCloseChangeNotification
or
ReadDirectoryChangesW
