Filesystem helping library aiming to provide common functions when working with the filesystem. From monitoring to easier coding.

• class UniquePcId - generates a unique GUID for this PC
• UniquePath - will generate a unique directory per PC (determined by hardware via UniquePcId).
• FileSearch - static methods to search files with patterns.
• FileInfoExtensions
  • FileInfo HandlePossibleDuplicate(this FileInfo)- checks if the given file already exist, if yes - will add (n) to the file name to avoid duplicate name - just like windows does.
• Paths - extension to System.IO.Path.
  • string NormalizePath(string path) - normalizes path for storage or comparison
  • DirectoryInfo WindowsDirectory - returns windows directory.
  • FileInfo ExecutingExe - returns the path to entry exe
  • FileInfo ExecutingDirectory - returns the path to entry exe's directory
  • FileInfo RandomLocation - generates via FileNameGenerator a random FileInfo
  • bool IsDirectoryWritable(this DirectoryInfo directory) - tests directory for writing with current permissions.
  • bool CompareTo(this FileSystemInfo fi, FileSystemInfo fi2) - compares two FileSystemInfo the right way.

• FileNameGenerator.Generate(DirectoryInfo) - Generate a random logical name for a file to the given directory (from old trojan project).
• Distributers - They provide enumeration of specific directories that are common in all computers.
  • GeneralLocationsDistributer, ProgramFilesDistributer, RootDriveDistributer, UniquePathDistributer, WindowsDistributer.

• class ActiveProcessFiles : IEnumerable<FileInfo>, IEnumerable<FileProcessInfo> - returns either all Processes with their entry exe tupled or all of the filenames that are available.
• class AutorunServiceFiles : IEnumerable<FileCall> - returns all services entry exe that are set to auto run.
• class RecentFiles : IEnumerable<FileInfo> - returns all the recent files that were opened.

• DriveMonitor : MonitorBase<DriveInfo> - Monitors (and reports new) drives that are connected with the ability to distinguish between the different drive types:

  • DriveMonitor.FileDrive()- returns all drivers that contain can contain files (e.g. not cdrom).
  • DriveMonitor.FixedDrives()- returns all hard drives that are connected to the PC (not via usb).
  • DriveMonitor.RemovableDrives()- returns all storage devices connected via USB (removable).
  • DriveMonitor.AllDrives()- just all of them.

• class ExplorerMonitor : MonitorBase<ExplorerWindowRepresentor> - Monitors explorer directory browsing (spying style) and reports when directory changes.

• ProcessCrashMonitor - monitor a process and report when it has crashed and when it has restarted (ProcessRebound).
• WerFaultKiller - when a program crashes, windows will start a process named WerFault and will 'try' to fix the crash and even suggest to report or restart. this prevents from the crashing program to close so this class will kill the WerFault automatically.

• ZipResource.Export(DirectoryInfo to, string resourcename) - extracts an embedded resource zip file to the given directory.
