Basically here lies my situation.
I've set up an HTPC, which will also serve as a gamin pc for me and my friends.
basically, its an HTPC with PES2009 on it.
I used a plugin to add PES2009 to the launch menu of MP. but, when I launch it, MP is still in the background eating resources and that has an impact on how the game is displayed

So, what do i want to do?
Basically instead of launching PES2009, i will launch my own application that will tell "Hey MP, close now" and then launch PES 2009. and when pes 2009 is closed. it'll open MP again.

I could do this the easy way, by simply KILLING the MP process but i dont want to since it does save settings and ratings etc when you close it. (at least that's what I assume)
What i wanna know how to do, its actually calling the "Shutdown MP" method from outside the app.
I use .NET a lot but never came accross sth like this so if anybody could point me in the right direction it would be very helpful.

Also, if sbdy assures me that i can just KILL the process and it wont mess my settings or anything in MP then im ok.
