My New App - Timed File Opener
« on: June 20, 2006, 08:18:00 PM »

I was bored and I couldn't get my Scheduled Taks in XP to work, so I made an app in VB.NET that will open a file you specify after a certain amount of time, set in either minutes or seconds, once the countdown is started, it will update every second telling you how much time is remaining.
It can be useful for some things. I used it to start a song this morning to wake me up for school, without it, I would have been late to my last day of school this year, lol

You will need the latest .NET Framework installed to run this program, as with any program made in VB.NET.
So if you get an error when opening it, download and install the .NET Framework, which you should have already.

Some people may find this app useful, some not... meh!

Let me know what you think,

I love building/fixing comps, but I HATE coding. Anyone who can code like that is a God  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

Ya, well I love doing both! lol

But this program is actually fairly simple. The code is short and simple.

Glad ya like it though!

I tried it out to open my Photoshop proggie, and it worked like a charm.

I think I'll use this to pop open outlook after an hour as a reminder to get some work done  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
