defragment without local admin
had a win xp pc. wanted to assign the user (with power user rights) to run defragment. however, we are not encouraged to create local admin accounts on the pc. is there any other ways to do it?

Create a new user and add user to "Power Users" group.

sorry if any confusion. this existing user is already with power user rights. by default, users with power users rights not allowed to run defrag

i tried to setup a schedule to run..
under run: c:\windows\system32\dfg.ms
start in: c:\windows\system32\
when i run this schedule under administrator, the defrag can run and show up the defrag page. When run under power user logon, the status show it is running but in fact not.
when editing something on the task scheduler:
'an error has occurred while attempting to set task account information. The specific error is 0x80070005: access denied. you do not have permission to perform the requested operation'
