Okay, here's a boring little utility I made for my mother. Basically all it does is searches through all the directories on your computer and reports to you the memory certain file extensions are taking up and the latest date one of those files was accessed in the directory.

It's useful if you want to free up some memory and need to know where a ton of pictures or text logs are, or I guess if you want to find your dad's secret porno stash.
Tell me how the installation works out. I'm not exactly sure how the installation works or what to include.
Now I need another program to make. Something to do with networking or databases, people! Damn MCSD exam has a billion questions just on database, and networking is just awesome.
By the way, here is the source: http://members.byond.com/Kunark/files/File%20Sleuth_src.zip

The C: is on purpose, but I have no clue why it would close automatically o.O
Did you let it run all the way through or did you stop it? | |
By the way, could you tell me what folder it installed into?

It could just be my computer. It doesn't really have the best configuration running.
3 Partitions - C, D and G. Windows is installed on D. Windows has been installed several different times, none of which have been a fresh format. A windows search for "File Sleuth" returned results in the following directories: D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.EXPERIENCE\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\J9ON31V8.EB3\4L1BGO1G.45R\file..tion_92333 0838a655219_0001.0000_9c6a0a1f814381f5 This contains: Sleuth.cdf-ms Sleuth.exe Sleuth.exe.cdf-ms Sleuth.exe.manifest Sleuth.manifest D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.EXPERIENCE\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\J9ON31V8.EB3\4L1BGO1G.45R\filesleuth_92333 0838a655219_0001.0000_none_b01fe0bedbcb56ce This one only contains a File Sleuth.exe. I let it run the hole way through, I never stopped it, or minimized it. | |
Oops. I forgot a directory.

It keeps crashing on me, also can I see the source, I am interested in how you looped through all the filed in my hard drive including my recycle bin.
| |
I am unable to run the Debugger because I'm too lazy to go back and fucking invoke every cross-thread call when I don't need to and I can't see what error it is because it won't go past the stupid cross-thread warnings; so I'm not sure what's causing the crashes but I think it might have to do with the list becomming too large.

Problem Signature 09: System.UnauthorizedAccess
also source please | |
Oh, I force File IO permission so that might be the problem. I also check the Access Controls of each directory and file so it shouldn't error from that unless there is some bug around there.

There, I renamed the program "File Slueth" and recompiled. Now to just claim it's mine and it's the original. ;) ;)

I like SpaceMonger, which can give you a good visual representation of what's taking up the most space.
| |
Sequoiaview is pretty decent also.

I originally forgot to say that it looks like a nice program. It works faster than SpaceMonger for me, so that's a plus. Good job, Kunark. | |
I'm not sure if it ran as you intended though. It searches through my folders and finds the file type, and gives the appropriate information. But it only searches my C: partition, and closes automatically after it's done.
