Hi, I lilk to schedule Disk Defragmanter to run daily in 11:00 PM. I already schedule it using the task schedular. It runs but it wait for user input to click anylize or defragment. The question I have is how can I run this utility (Disk Defragmenter) to defragmet my disk without need to click the defragmen button ? Thanks a lot

Hi brother! Go to this webpage: http://www.compguystechweb.com/troubleshooting/windows/defrag_command.html There you´ll find what you are looking for. Regards. Andrés

Thanks a lot for the reply brother. This is correct in WIN98 but not in WIN 2000. No defrag command. Thanks a lot.

Hello : You donot like the push-button right ? Because it prevents the automatically running of the program : yes ? What about a different approach of the problem ? Make the push button automatically too ! first : every day disfragmenting is probably too much of a good thing. (there is somewhere a program on internet to check if a defragmentation is necessary) (run this every day automatically and defragment ONLY based on the result would be a nice other thing too :) ) OK : now the solution. 1) You need to download the freeware Auto-It (little app) from www.hiddensoft.com 2) Now it is my turn :) Because i need to make a little aut program to make the push button done automatically. i have done this many times before so i donot think there will be too much problems (and if i do have friends with "brainpower" ;) 3) email me or wait and come back to this site : i will try to make this program today and post it. Good Luck Theo

OK I got it working (on my laptop) but i cannot promise that it will work on yours too. First off all : The disk defrag program is a typical Stand-alone Program : so please close (or kill) as many applications and services and screens ETC as possible ( a not always easy and sometimes dangerous job, especially when you kill services that somehow need to run) if you donot run it standalone a lot of interfering of other programs can prevent running this Auto-It program as it should. I would schedule it "late in the evening" after rebooting the system and closing or killing as much as possible apps,services etc (but again be very carefull in doing that). I start in the program a defrag console which is located in the Tree Tab of the Console Root (you have to define this yourself first, has a number of 1) =========================================== ; This is an Auto-It program ; Progam name : Auto-defrag.aut ; author Theo Lockefeer dd 10/12/2002 ; tested and works ok.

Version 2 ! Fixed a \ error ! Thanks to my friend Carsten. Forget version 1 this runs smoother.
