Batch download from clipboard

Answer 1

you should let operating system to decide which program to run. it will open a default browser and if the address has some file to download it will open your IDM.in "if" section, you can add some checking to see if the address ends with the extension you wanna download . The code-behind will be something like this

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
           var  clipboard = Clipboard.GetText();
            if (clipboard.StartsWith("http://"))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(clipboard);
            }
    }
