If it were me, I'd have one thread whose job it is just to find the
files of interest, and stuff them into a list. Then I'd have
something else -- probably a Timer -- which watches this list, and
prompts the user for what to do with them.
Or better yet, just put these results into an actual Listbox, and let
the user select them and click some action button as they choose.
The old prompt-the-user-and-force-them-to-answer UI paradigm is so
1970s. ;)
Best,
