Concept is called DirectoryWatcher/FileWatcher, you can google it by these keywords for your programming language. It's represented in most languages now.

Yes, it's possible. You can use:

Powershell (example)
Batch file, with or without task scheduler (example on link above)
Task Scheduler and a VBScript (example)
VBScript and WMI __InstanceModificationEvent event (reference)
.NET's FileSystemWatcher (example)
Third party software (some suggestions)
