It sucks that I am actually totally swamped at work now. I loved doing these, glad you kept it up!

So it would open the folder in a new window and have a random file selected?

I actually had a question in the XP beautification thread about something I saw a coworker use:

Fastbreak posted:

I remember someone had some sort of setup that all the desktop icons would be hidden until he hit alt 3 times. His icons would come up and if he didn't move the mouse or interact with the icons, they would automatically hide again in like 5 seconds. I have searched, can't find it, but I am dying to try it out. Unfortunately the guy is a douch so I cannot give him the satisfaction of asking him what it is.

Since I got annoyed not being able to find the application, I just wrote my own. .Net 2.0 required.

Have the option to hide/show your desktop icons, task bar, minimize active windows, or any combination of those listed with a key stroke that you can set. Hope someone else likes it as much as me.

Edit: To answer alot of questions, yes it is like a "boss key."

I'd like an app that opens and closes the CD tray, over and over. I work in a repair center and I need to make sure these drives work.

Also it would be fun to hook up a bunch and watch them go.

Thanks!

ha, I will do this one just for a video of all those trays going. .Net framework okay? 3 second delay between open/close command?

Edit: Done, but I suck at filling in the request on the wiki... Its called PsychoTray. I was not able to test the close tray function since I only have a laptop cd drive right now.

Thanks for the program! Although it only does one drive, I have 3 in this test system, any way to make it do all of them at once? And a box where I can input the delay would be sweet too

If I can make it spaz out I'll post a video.

Try downloading it again. Like I said I can't fully test it here, but I think it works.

The download link on tinyappz for my NoPekking app stopped working, people have been geting errors as have I. Seems like the URl is messed up. Any clues as to why?
