VB.net app I want to write

OK so I want to write a program for my operating system class, I want it to be similar to what samurize does. It needs to be able to tap into the particular "managers" of the operating system (memory, processor, process, network...). I want to write it VB.net and it will be run on windows XP, and be an installable application.
BUT
I dont know how to get access to the managers, can I get a few hints from you guys...please.

Thanks
 
The key is to find the right object and method to get the information from.
Windows Management Instrumentation WMI (System.Management classes) can do these but are difficult to deal with.

If you are using VS 2005 take a look at the classes under the My namespace.. like My.Computer. There are a load of classes and objects for dealing with all of these.

Search google for ".net " and whatever you want to access and someone has posted some code to do it.
