This project uses 2 common class libraries to abstract the folders and file in the Live Mesh Desktop along with displaying those objects in a UI. There are 5 Microsoft Office addins that use these common classes to provide read and write functionality to and from the Live Mesh Desktop. The user may also manage the Live Desktop by adding, removing and renaming folders as well as removing and renaming files. The user may also invite and uninvite other users to share top level desktop folders.
