examples i have this code

Dim withevents defrag as new process

In addition to Ken's reply:

\\\
Dim p As Process = Process.Start(" C:\WINDOWS\SYST EM32\defrag.msc ")
p.WaitForExit()
ShutdownMachine ()

Maybe you can find a solution by starting "defrag.exe " instead of the
Management Console.

Did you already try 'Process.WaitFo rExit' as shown in my sample?

Re: shutdown

i would but defrag doesnt exit once its done defragging, so it would just sit
there

Re: shutdown

hmm is this still about the auto defrag :-)

well i have some info , that might be of help

with these scripts found here you can do exactly what you want

http://www.compu-docs.com/W2KDfrag.htm

if you want to write it pure in VB that is no problem ,,, as you only have
to start the defrag service , give it the main focus , send the apropriate
keys , and read the window caption to see if it is finished the parameters
can be found in these scripts
