Hey If i am right CreateProcess() function can't be used in this case, as Disk Defragmenter needs Admin privilages to open. Please explain me how to do this. Thanks in advance.

Now i want to disable the app controls when the Disk Defragmenter is OPEN and then re-enable the app controls when Disk Defragmenter is CLOSED.
How to do this?
Do you have a handle to the window?

I am using ShellExecute function to open the Disk Defragmenter. I can know when the Disk Defragmenter is OPENED, but not when it's CLOSED. Is that true?
Look at the
PROCESS_INFORMATIONstructure. Monitoring those handles or IDs should provide you this information.dipuks wrote:

Use ShellExecuteEx()[^], then you can use WaitForSingleObject()[^] on the hProcess member of SHELLEXECUTEINFO[^] to get notified when the process exits.
