Is it possible for you to schedule disk defrag in XP pro using the built in disk defag program? I tried to schedule a task and chose browse to search for disk defrag but some how the scheduled task is not recognizing the disk defrag program... Thanks in advance.

To schedule the built-in defragmenter, you need to use the command line interface to the defragmenter - defrag.exe. You can write a .bat file with the appropriate commands or schedule defrag.exe using Task Scheduler. It's not very easy or elegant, but with the built-in defragmenter "you get what you pay for". That is why there are 3rd party commercial defrag products - to get around the limited scheduling capabilities and other limitations of the built-in defragmenter. - Greg/Raxco Software Disclaimer: I work for Raxco Software, the maker of PerfectDisk - a commercial defrag utility, as a systems engineer in the support department.

Or you might try using the task scheduler thats already built in to XP. I forget where it is..just search for scheduled tasks.
