Almost done!

I Got it to delete a file on button press.
I got it to minimize to the tray but*
Goes to the task bar and double clicking on the ICON doesn't do anything.

Cant remember how to do a time function for what I want to do.

Looked up play sound just seems like to much for something this simple and would probably annoy the user.

You could create a thread, and have it continually loop and check for new files. Or you could look up the FileSystemWatcher class.

Try this, click the icon once...

private void notifyIcon1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
    Show();
    WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
}

Drag a Timer control to the main form, enable it, then change the interval for the time frame you want.

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   // Do something at this specific interval 
}

There is probably something better than PlaySound() to use... I'll look around later.

You could add the option in the main menu of the program to turn off the "cheerful sound", and you could also let the user select the "cheerful sound" that they want to hear.

Something else that might be good to keep in mind: not everyone has C:\ as their main hard drive. It might be D:\ or K:\, you get the idea. :p What I usually do is check to see what the "%HOMEDRIVE%" variable is set to, and then take that data and append it to my file that I want to access/rename/delete/write to/whatever.
