How To Schedule Graphical GUI Defrag dfrg.msc
How would I schedule the graphical GUI Defrag program in Windows XP. The file is located in:
%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg
I know how to schedule the defrag.exe program but was wondering if there was a way to do it with the dfrg.msc. Are there any / or - commandsto use?? Example:
%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg
%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg
When I schedule it with no / or - commands the defrag program starts but the defrag does not begin "defraging" it just sits there.
%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg

Not sure about XP, but with other versions of MS, you needed a third party defrager to be able to schdule (and have it run) a defrag, as you found out, it will launch the defrag, but won't run it

I don't have XP available to me right now, but on Windows 7 you can do it like this to save the report to C:\Temp\Report.txt
echo Defrag report on %computername% at %date% %time% >> c:\temp\Report.txt
defrag c: /a /v >> c:\Temp\Report.txt
echo Defrag report on %computername% at %date% %time% >> c:\temp\Report.txt
defrag c: /a /v >> c:\Temp\Report.txt
