What is the Run CMD for defragment?

[Joel]

I did this before but forgot to write it down. You can hit Windows key + R
and then type in something like defrag.svc to go immediately to the defrag
screen. What is the exact line?

Start > Run > type in:

dfrg.msc

then hit Enter.

To run from the defragmenter from the command line or include in a script
you would use "defrag". For example

Typically you might type:

defrag C:\

But in a script you might want to force it with:

defrag C:\ -f

For help type:

defrag /?

to get a list of swtiches.

Hmm... Unless you mean diskmgmt.msc perhaps?

That's Disk Management, not the Defragmenter.

Windows's Disk Management:
diskmgmt.msc

Window's Defragmenter:
dfrg.msc

Commandline Defragment program [works with "arguments" and "switches"]:
defrag

After reading the above answers I was no longer certain which one they
wanted and figured they could at least access degrag from there. Someone,
you namely, having already mentioned the snap-in I figured it'd be good to
offer them all the answers they could possibly want. (Which is why it was
threaded under the OP and not under your response as your response was
perfectly valid.) (Or at least it should be threaded under the OP's question
and is here... No accounting for how it might show up on your PC.)

'Have a nice one.
