Yes, the assignment was/is a hurdle for me. It turns out to
be much easier to release something into the public domain
(at least at my company), thus my approach. I had actually
made some progress with the assignment, but it went back to
ground zero when my old group was disbanded.

Sort of, although I approached it as a set of services that
could replace Windows file operations with extended versions
that could be selected dynamically. I had come up with the
following list of functions to replace (which perhaps might
be of some use to you):

CopyFile
CopyFileEx
CreateDirectory
CreateDirectoryEx
CreateFile
DeleteFile
FindFirstChangeNotification
FindFirstFile
FindFirstFileEx
GetBinaryType
GetFileAttributes
GetFileAttributesEx
GetFullPathName
GetLongPathName
GetShortPathName
MoveFile
MoveFileEx
MoveFileWithProgress
RemoveDirectory
ReplaceFile
SearchPath
SetCurrentDirectory
SetFileAttributes
SetFileSecurity
