Scheduled defrag won't complete

[Hank D.]

Hi Guys, When I schedule defrag to run under Scheduled
Tasks I have to tell it to run. In other words it won't
start by itself and complete without me telling it to go
ahead and run. What am I doing wrong? It is configured
with a password in the setup and Windows login.
Thanks,

up,should fix it.

There are two defrags, one is a pretty one that waits for a click to do anything (defrag.msc). This is the one Task Schedule finds because it's the one listed on the start menu. Then there is an ugly one called defrag.exe designed for scheduling or scripting.

defrag c: /f

You must specify parameters and you must browse to find it (it's in system32)
