Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
- Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
- NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
- Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

Does this tool really work? I don't think so. Please check your "cmd /c" command. The reason why I think it's not calling the Contig is, I downloaded tool and placed it in Application folder and was expecting to see EULA dialog on first run as a token to realize your tool is calling the required EXE correctly. But it didn't. Then I wrote a test project that captures Console output and tested your Defrag command with it. I noticed it was giving errors for Path. GetShortPath of long Windows Paths for better results. Your tool simply Shell the command and "hope" that it will go well. Please grab the actual console output.
Also, "polling the process by name after every 3 seconds to see if it has terminated or not" is not a good idea. We have methods to Shell and Wait for the process to terminate using API. I hope you take my suggestions in good spirit. :-)
Cheers,
Ruturaaj

As we have discussed, I will review and troubleshoot at my end and you do your part. We will meet in the middle after some additional testing. Then I will repost. Thank you for your input. I have made several changes based on your input thus far.
