Scheduled Tasks?

[greysquirl]

Is there any way that I can run defrag every day through scheduled tasks in
WindowsXP? I have tried several different things and none have worked. I
have been able to pull up the defrag program but it will not start without
selecting manually the defrag button.

Click on "D" and scroll down to defrag for Kelly's tip on setting this up.

what about running the command line util (xp) for defrag?

defrag <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
volume drive letter or mount point (d: or d:\vol\mountpoint)
-a Analyze only
-f Force defragmentation even if free space is low
-v Verbose output
