I have tried your program, I think it is interesting. But you can make it more interesting by:

1. Adding a listener to any registered folder.
2. Let the program run as a system service.
3. Try reduce the overall program size (7.523 MB) is much for this current feature. Eliminate any dll that is not useful for now (If using other language is not an option).

Thanks, keep making Nigeria proud.

Coming in as a tester
That will do for intermediate programmer
But I hope it sees the light of the day
