The scheduled defrag task has the action "defrag -c -i -g"
Does anybody know what the undocumented -i and -g switches do?

The scheduled task that runs defrag has the 'stop if the computer ceases to

any ideas on the -g switch?

Running defrag c: -g from the command line generates 2 reports.

If I had even a guess about the -g switch, I'd lay it down. I have no idea
what the -g switch does.
Where did you learn about betting, because you sound absolutely clueless,

It sends a report of all your files (and their fragmentation status!) to
the Government. Doh!
