Cool app idea!!... Question

[m1234ike]

Hello,
I am trying to create an application that cleans the current directory
i.e Cleanup/text folder >> test.txt and 2test.txt ect...
I have two problems:
1st I cannot cleanup all of the Shortcut files i.e. Adobe.lnk ect...
###########################################################################
Here is what I have so far for the .lnk files:

Dim myPatheight As String = IO.Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory, "Cleanup/Shortcuts")
        IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(myPatheight)

  For Each foundFile1 As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _
       (My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory, _
       FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.lnk")
            count = ++count
            Try
                My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile(foundFile1, myPatheight & "/" & IO.Path.GetFileName(foundFile1))
            Catch
                If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(foundFile1) Then
                    MsgBox("File: " & foundFile1 & " already belongs to the: " & myPatheight & " directory. Please, choose a directory to move it to")
                    SaveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = myPath
                    SaveFileDialog1.FileName = foundFile1.Replace(".lnk", ++count & ".lnk")
                    SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "Shortcuts (*.lnk)|*.lnk|All Files (*.*)|*.*"

                    SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
                    My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(foundFile1)
                End If
            End Try
        Next

Any hints?

Next: I am having a problem with keeping "THIS APP" from moving to the Cleanup folder..

And even when I use the TRY/CATCH and do not move it using the SaveFile Dialog: I get the error message that is attached...

Here is what I have:

Dim myPathsix As String = IO.Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory, "Cleanup/Programs")
        IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(myPathsix)
        Dim count As Integer = 1
 For Each foundFile7 As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _
    (My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory, _
    FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.exe") '& "*.png" & "*.gif")
            count = ++count

            Try
                Dim foundNOT As String = foundFile7.Contains("Folder Cleanup Application.exe")
                My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile(foundFile7, myPathsix & "/" & IO.Path.GetFileName(foundFile7))
                If foundFile7.Contains(foundNOT) Then
                    My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile(foundNOT, myPathsix & "/" & IO.Path.GetFileName(foundNOT), False)
                End If


            Catch
                If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(foundFile7) Then
                    MsgBox("File: " & foundFile7 & " already belongs to the: " & myPathsix & " directory. Please, choose a directory to move it to")
                    SaveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = myPath
                    SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
                    My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(foundFile7)
                End If
            End Try
        Next
