I wanted to start out by saying I've taken some programming classes but my career doesn't focus anything around programming so I don't have much experience in applicable programming projects.
What I'm wanting to do is make a SysTra menu that list the folder in a designated directory, and when you hover over one of those directories in the the MenuItem if should list the contents of the folder and allow you to click/execute the listed file.
An example would be I designate a folder at C:\Stuff in that folder is App1 & App2 when I go to my SysTra I see App1 & App2 when I hover over the menu Item I see the contents and am able to click/execute the contents. The Contents in the Stuff folder is every changing, so I wasn't certain if I would have to do something like write a class that first reads the folders in C:\Stuff and there sub content that then passes it back to the main program and builds the MenuItems dynamically?
Again I'm not proficient at C# so wasn't certain if Visual studio had something built in to do majority of the leg work or if I would have to build this from scratch. I've been glancing over HowTo: Build your own System Tray Icon application | JBKB v2 & Creating a System Tray Application with C# | ... in hopes that it might give me some ideas on a approach for this, but I guess I'm also worried that I'm trying to build something that is not possible from the get go.
