N.A.N.Y. 2022 / N.A.N.Y 2022: Desktop Maid
« on: December 06, 2021, 04:12 AM »
Application NameDesktop Maid
Version1.0.0.6
Short Description Keep your desktop clean of unwanted shortcuts!
Supported OSes   Windows 10
Prerequisites   .NET 5.0 (Desktop Runtime)
Download   Download Link
Author   GrumpyCoder

Description
Don't you hate it when newly installed/updated applications ruin your pristine desktop with their filthy shortcuts without your permission?  :mad:
Are you tired of manually deleting said shortcuts off your desktop over and over again?   :'(
Introducing "Desktop Maid", the clever little application that will keep your desktop clean once and for all!  :Thmbsup:

  • It will automatically monitor your desktop and move any newly detected shortcuts into its "JunkBin" folder where they will remain out of sight until you choose otherwise.
  • Did I mention that "Desktop Maid" is clever? That's right, it will only get rid of shortcut files and will not touch anything else.
  • You can always restore and exclude any shortcuts that it "deleted" so you can keep your desktop exactly the way you like it!
  • What are you waiting for? Download now!!  :P

N.A.N.Y. 2019 / NANY 2019 - DisplayOff
« on: December 04, 2018, 10:32 PM »
Application NameDisplayOff
Version1.0.0.0
Short Description Turns off the display and terminates itself.
Supported OSes   Windows 7, 8, or 10
Download   https://www.dropbox....2e92l/DisplayOff.zip
Author   Lohengrin Percival

Description
I needed a way to manually turn off the monitor without having to use the physical power button, so I made this.
It doesn't put the PC to sleep, it just turns off the display the same way Windows does, then terminates itself and moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard will turn the display back on.

Bonus
Because the application is so simple, I decided to share the code as well.

Code: C# [Select]
  1. using System;
  2. using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
  3. using System.Windows.Forms;
  4.  
  5. public class DisplayManager
  6. {
  7.     private const int SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170;
  8.     private const uint WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
  9.  
  10.     [DllImport("user32.dll")]
  11.     static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
  12.  
  13.     public enum MonitorState
  14.     {
  15.         On = -1,
  16.         Off = 2,
  17.         Standby = 1
  18.     }
  19.  
  20.     public void SetMonitorState(MonitorState state)
  21.     {
  22.         SendMessage(new Form().Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, (IntPtr)SC_MONITORPOWER, (IntPtr)state);
  23.     }
  24. }
