Does anybody know where i can find ideas for small apps/utilities that i can code? I'm sorry to say, but it seems I've run out of creative juice when it comes to coming up with ideas. Here's a little background about what I can do:
I use C#.NET and I can:
1. Work with files
2. Work with the registry
3. Work with processes
4. Work with Windows Live Messenger (only API i learned to use so far...i find it limiting though)
also these basic things:
5. handle keyboard/mouse input, use windows form controls
i know it sounds like a job application, but i thought to point me in the right direction you might need that info. Thanks in advance

I am at about the same level but with VB.
Some things i did:
System tray applet using the web services feature available in visual studdio express which can tell the user the weather for thier area etc...
Word processor
A program to display on a pie chart which directories on the HDD use what amount of space.
If you want the code to the weather applet it is available. Just PM me.

pong, tetris (a bit harder), cheap graphical rpg (the only problem is the sprites you have to somehow acquire), bridge, blackjack, pool (a bit harder), etc.

If you are into the live messenger sdk, registry and processes it shouldnt be that hard for you to make a LAN messenger program using Winsock.
