Full version of CleanDesktop is ready now.
This app, which simply keeps your desktop free of cluttering files, by moving every file to its appropriate folder (e.g. ".jpg" files on your desktop will always be moved to pictures folder " has the following features:


1. starts by itself once system boots
2. Allows you to create custom extension
3. ALlows you to send commands to the application through the command line
4. Moves html files together with their resource folders.
5. It is open source and newbies and pros alike are welcome to modify, reuse, and criticize the code. Plus you can look at the code and see there's no shady deal going on behind the scenes...e.g. hidden viruses.

Thanks everyone!

nice one op

op, i downloaded the code and looked at the source.
wanted to test run it but it requires 2.4+ gig dot net framework!!
Why use c# over java?
The jre runtime is way smaller.

I dont know if it may be an issue,
Your code reads arguments from the console and interpretes it to perform an action.
But it doest check if the commands are correct completely.
It ignores case.
what of commands that are padded with whitespace?
e.g
" exit" and "exit" are not the same?
without trimming it first it could crash the program.

Thanks bro. there is a validate function in the CleanDesktop.cs file:

(command = Console.ReadLine().ToLower().Trim();// trims and eliminates upper case letters

if (command.ToLower().StartsWith("add")
{
if (validate_command(command)) //validates command here
{
add_custom_extension(command);
}
else
{
speak("incorrect command format";
speak("type 'add .extension to folder'";
speak("To add a custom extension mapping type";
speak("e.g.";
speak("add .jpg to Pictures";
}
})

You have a strong point with the .net issue. Jar runtime is much smaller, and even cross platform. However, I chose .net because most windows 7+ installations come with .net preinstalled , plus i believe in using a windows tool (C#/.NET) for a windows platform (MS Windows).

I will recompile it now to allow lower versions of .net shaa. I believe that will make it accessible to more computers.

This will ease learning
