I would like to start an 3rd oarty program from within my VB.NET and be able
to kill the app in the same program. Almost liek creating a thread and just
destroying the thread when I am done with it. Does anyone have a good place
to start for someone that does not have any experience on threads.

Have a look at the 'System.Diagnostics.Process' class, its 'Start'
method and 'ProcessStartInfo'.
