batch file to clean system

I use the following batch file to clean my system. ----------------- @ECHO OFF START taskinfo kill persfw.exe START /W C:\Progra~1\Diskcl~1\DClean.exe -q:clean START /W c:\windows\scandskw.exe c: /ALL /noninteractive /silent START c:\windows\defrag.exe /all /noprompt /detailed START taskinfo fshutdown
Lately the final line though, the one that forces a shutdown, has been executing before the previous line, the defrag, has finished. The defrag starts analyzing the hard disk and then before it even starts moving clusters the system shuts down. Does anybody know what I can do to make sure that this shutdown line waits for the previous line to finish before it executes?

Simple, place pause between the two lines.
Hope this answers your question.

Place the /W switch on all the Start lines.

Will this batch file work on Win XP Pro or just Win98 ? If it does can someone tell me what to change in Johnoh's file to make it work ? BTW, good job Johnoh! Thank you.
