+HDD-Ping
+========
+
+A tool to "ping" hard drives to prevent spin-downs
+
+========
+
+This application is a Windows tray-only application that writes and deletes (thus "pings") a random file with zero length to selected hard drives in a given interval.
+
+Functions:
+- Auto-discovery of drives on startup
+- Stores interval and selected drives in a serialized file
+- Re-enables settings of a found configuration file
+- Auto-fixes the settings by removing selected drives that are not available upon start
+- Includes three icons that change depending on the state
+- Those states are
+ * 1:disabled (gray, no drive selected),
+ * 2:writing (red for 5 secs when timer elapses)
+ * 3:active-idle (green, waiting for a timer to elapse to write random file to selected drives)
