Adding Call Functions For Defragment Hard Drive And Other .msc Tools For Windows?
Jun 2, 2011
My problem is that I am creating system tools for windows with a good gui and I don't know how to start with it. One of my difficulties is making code for calling any window tools for example, defragment.msc, backup, system restore, registry editor(I knew there's already a thread in here but it is closed).In short, I will create a "Utility tools ALL IN ONE" for my project somewhat like a registry cleaner or advance system optimizer and the likes.

I would like to use the Windows Vista/7 defragmentation feature from my program. I can use a shell command to call defrag.exe, but there's no way to get the status that I know of. I would like to show a percentage and maybe what part of the process it's doing. Then when it's done get the results.

I've been searching for hours tonight searching existing posts, other websites and all i can find are examples of how to capture a image from a webcam.Does anyone have any code that simple talks to the camera device via WIA, and then saves every image found on the device to a hard drive?I found this code below. Credit i cant tell you as i have a bunch of different flavors of code, but this only saves the file as a tmp file, and not the actual image file i expected after selecting?

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports WIALib

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

I'm trying to get hard drive temperature data.I can get the temperature via MSStoragedriver_ATAPISmartData.And, I can get all sorts of drive info (model, serial #, etc. via the Win32PhysicalMediaClass.The trouble is trying to link the two together.I get this temperature info, but I don't know which drive it is.The only identifier I can get from MSStoragedriver_ATAPISmartData is InstanceName.That looks like it has the model number embedded in it, but I can't get model number in Win32 my question is how can I get the temperature data and realte it to a specific drive?

I have made this program in which the user selects a number of directories and copies them all to an external drive. is there a way to detect when the user does something that involves writing data to the hard drive. When they do, I want my application to detect this and back up that file on the external drive as well so that the back up is always up to date.

How can I get VB.NET to find the folder that begins with "17014 -"? The actual Folder is called "17014 - Mr John Smith", but I want it to search only upto the "-" (hyphen) point.
I will then use this to check if the folder exists or not.

I am looking for a way to retrieve the temperature of hard drives in VB Express 2008. I have found posts at a few different places that accomplish this with the following: Public Function GetDriveTemp() As Integer
Try
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("rootWMI", "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
Dim arrVendorSpecific As Byte() = queryObj("VendorSpecific")
GetDriveTemp = arrVendorSpecific(115
Next
[Code]...
This function retrieves the temperature for all the hard drives in my system (excluding USB), two internal and one external esata drive. There are two problems, tough: 1. I want to know the drive letter and maybe the drive label that the retrieved temperature corresponds to. I'm assuming that the * in the query, "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData", can be changed to specify a particular drive rather than all drives, but I don't know how retrieve a list of all the drives in my system or how to write the query based on those results.
2. If I call the funciton from a some click event like for a label or button, there are no problems and the return value seems valid. But when I call the function from a Timer_Tick event, the mouse cursor is the busy cursor as long as the mouse is within the form, the form doesn't receive any click events, and it cannot be closed.
I know what I'm trying to do can be done because there are a few utilities that provide this information.

how to retrieve the temperature of a hard drive in Visual Basic 2005? The temperature can be retrieved from the S.M.A.R.T information, but I don't know how to do that in Visual Basic 2005. There probably is a way, but unfortunately, I don't know.

I've been checking endlessly on MSDN and the net in general trying to find out how to get the computer's "C:" drive serial number and also the GUID.Everything I've found seems to pointing to the System.Management library using the ManagementObject, but "ManagementObject" doesn't appear to be recognized by the IDE?!I've imported: System.Management, System.Management.Instrumentation, Microsoft.Win32 and System.IO, but ManagementObject is still coming up as an error.I'm aware I can simply access the registry to get the GUID, but can anyone simply give me the code to access these 2 elements please.

I am doing a little project to get better at my Vb while I am outside of class and I am making a launcher that lanuches my games from my external harddrive. Now I want it to auto find what the Harddrive is mounted to Like in my Code below this is what I have so far:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Generals\generals.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox3.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Counter-Strike Source\Launcher.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox5.Checked = True Then
