So after much thought and consideration I have not decided on a project yet.
So instead I look for some inspiration. As I search this site not much really
catches my eye accept when I come across help with a problem I once had.
Then I tend to learn a little more.
I have decided though to release one of my first VB.NET applications to the
public just for fun. It really isn't much. It's basically a small program that
helps the user clean his or her computer with the ease of a simple GUI.
I basically built this for my friend Joe who is quite computer illiterate. Well,
at least he was when I created the program. I will be releasing the source
code as soon as I find the archive I put it in.
My "Maintenance Helper" basically only deals with simple functions in VB.NET.
Basically timers, labels, text boxes, buttons, etc. Then it uses the code to run
a seperate application already installed in all versions of windows,, well I am
not sure about Vista really haven't messed with it yet. I do this very simply
in vb but using this code.
When I first started VB.NET I came across this little piece of code and it intrigued
me because you could use that very peice of code to make programs interact with
windows for the user instead of them directly having to deal with windows. Which
in some cases is good for the user because windows not only confuses some but it
also tends to get on others nerves very swiftly.
One of my 2 goals as a programmer is to create an easy environment for the user
and the other is, well maybe I will tell you later on when I get to know you a little
better.

Cool keep up the good work, I'll try this out later on my vista laptop(I'm on my Linux desktop) and tell you how it goes, maybe you can add some more features in the future like clearing of Internet explorer history.
