Help With A Simple Progam That Ain't So Simple

Michael

I Tried to write what i thought was a simple program

read the lable of the CD in the drive
Compare to a text file archive
run the associated program.

how ever i couldn't find out where to get hold of the lable of the cd
and i can't seem to find the right command to run a third party program.

Any Help?

What you mean "third party program"
If you mean something like notepad< you should use Process class (find it at MSDN)

I hope this link will helps you :)
