I want to run a program whenever a certain text file is modified. Is this possible? This is what I've mustered up but it does nothing.

Code:
FileGetTime, todo_time, D:\todo.txt

if (todo_time = A_Now)
{
   Run C:\Program Files\SysInternals-Nirsoft\Bginfo.exe "D:\update_todo.bgi" /timer:0
   Return
}


Can someone give me a hand? :)

My hand:

Code:
Loop
  If InStr( FileExist( "D:\todo.txt" ), "A" )  {
  RunWait C:\Program Files\SysInternals-Nirsoft\Bginfo.exe "D:\update_todo.bgi" /timer:0
  FileSetAttrib, -A, D:\todo.txt
  }
  Else  Sleep 250
