A system and method for creating and utilizing dynamic directories in a computing system. A computing system includes a file system and a dynamic directory mechanism. The dynamic directory mechanism is configured to enable a user to create dynamic directories which are identifiable as having special behaviors associated with them. The user may create executable instructions for performing the special behaviors in a user space of an operating system and associate the special behaviors with selected native file system operations which may be performed on the directory. In response to detecting an operation on a directory is initiated, the mechanism determines whether the directory is a dynamic directory. If the directory is a dynamic directory, the mechanism determines whether any predetermined special behaviors have been defined for the initiated operation and if so performs the special behaviors.
