Windows Downloads Flyout

A tiny utility to avoid opening the downloads folder every time.

Why?

I was very tired of having to open the download folder every single time. There are programs, such as Fences from Stardock that do something similar, but I just needed a simple flyout, showing what's in the downloads folder.

I hope that it is going to be helpful to other people.

Contribution
