Anyone got any info or code examples on defragging your hard drives?

Do you want to implement a defragmenting program yourself? Then you are in
the wrong group (C, C++ would be more appropriate). Notice that there are
companies that already have years of experience in writing such
applications.

Or do you want to start Windows' defragmenter? Then you can use 'Shell' or
'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start' to start the "defrag" command line
utility that comes with Windows.

Really? No API calls in VB or VB.Net?

Notice that there are
companies that already have years of experience in writing such
applications.

So I gathered from O&O Defrag and Diskkeeper , etc. .

Or do you want to start Windows' defragmenter? Then you can use 'Shell'
or
'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start' to start the "defrag" command line
utility that comes with Windows.

I want to offer a freeware defrag utility to some of my users.

Windows should really upgrade theirs.

We are surrently creating a suite of freeware tools that Windows should have
come with.

Thanks for your interest.
