So i'm having a problem with the arguments on this code where i have a place holder {1} for the string "tempDrive" but when its written like this:

            string tempFolder = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SystemDrive");
            string tempDrive = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TargetDrive");
            string executableDirectoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
            System.Diagnostics.Process defrag2 = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(tempFolder + "\\" + "AusLogics_Defrag" + "\\" + "cdefrag.exe", "-dt -o {1}", tempDrive);

it gives me the error "No overload for method 'Start' takes 3 arguments" so what can i do get past this and use both sets of arguments? Also am i using the placeholder thing correctly?

I don't know but shouldn't Start take the argument as one line only? instead of ',' replace them with '+' to make a single string.
Try:

tempFolder + "\\" + "AusLogics_Defrag" + "\\" + "cdefrag.exe"+ "-dt -o {1}"+ tempDrive

You need to use String.Format() on the second method arguement. Process.Start() doesn't automatically allow for placeholders:

System.Diagnostics.Process defrag2 = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(tempFolder + "\\" + "AusLogics_Defrag" + "\\" + "cdefrag.exe", String.Format("-dt -o {1}", tempDrive));
