I found the "tip" below online (search for the first line and you'll find it).
Is -b really a parameter of defrag? I can find no mention of it anywhere else.
The NOTE says, XP will "run this every three days or so." What does this
mean? The "-b" causes XP to run defrag every three days ("or so")? What is
this? The -b parameter schedules defrag to run every 3 days (or so)?
I'm supicious of the "or so." How can that be? Computers don't do things "or
so."
TIP-----------
*Secret - Hidden Command Line Switch*
Instructions - Go to "Start", "Run" and Type defrag c: -b to defragment the
Boot and Application Prefetch information.
Notes - Windows XP will run this automatically every three days or so,
during system idle periods. BootVis will evoke this when you run the
"Optimize System" function. There is no need to manually run this unless you
wish to immediately optimize a newly installed application's load time.
