ok, (i know i'm not the smartest kid on the block but ... )I tried to understand how it works ... no success . From a user stand point it's a useless program if he can't figure out what to do in 1 minute .

The fact that it starts minimized , is also :eek: .

I can't download the source, but I'm under the impression that you have all you're code in the Form class. - the best way to test your program would be with Unit Tests - but in this case it's not very doable.

Maybe a little help menu wouldn't hurt.:beard:

Thanks Xavier. You have to be in Admin account for the menu, to be enabled, to where you use it. The reason I started it minimized, is because since it was used for student, it was disabled, which means they couldnt minimize it, and they would be stuck with it on their screen until the teacher could come by and minimize it.
Everything else I thought was pretty self, explanatory. Click Monitor Options, it brings up the path settings for you to specify. right click the window to specify them, you click save for each path you edited, then close that form click Save Settings on main form, and there you go. Then you can minimize it, and it watches those path's you specified. Thanks for the feddback, I'll get start on a help program.

Yeah, it is hard to understand how it works. It doesn't even work for me. It needs to be more user friendly. You can't really have an opinion of how easy it is to use since you created it. The project I'm working on right now is quite complex. I had to go back and make it easier to use because my friends couldn't figure out how to set it all up.

Ok, thanks for the comments. Yes I did use the FileSystemWatcher. For those of you who thought it was not very user friendly. Do you think a help fiel for work, or do I need to change it around, or both?
