## Overview

WMP Ignore List Manager is a Windows tray application for excluding selected folders—including folders nested under library roots—from Windows Media Player’s library. The user opens the GUI from the tray, reviews or changes the ignored-folder list, and a background service periodically checks library media paths and removes matches. The sampled code shows the list persisted as IgnoreList.txt beside the application. The README documents the tray and GUI capabilities; the graph reflects sampled runtime wiring.

Main entry points: [`WMPignoreList/IgnoreListService.cs`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/wmpignore/blob/main/WMPignoreList/IgnoreListService.cs) (Ignore-list service), [`WMPignoreList/Program.cs`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/wmpignore/blob/main/WMPignoreList/Program.cs) (Tray entry point), [`WMPignoreList/IgnoreGUI.cs`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/wmpignore/blob/main/WMPignoreList/IgnoreGUI.cs) (Folder manager)
