How do I set up the task scheduler to automatically run defrag? Have tried
many times without success. Any help would be appreciated.

At a DOS prompt type
DEFRAG /?
to find out more about this DOS command-line tool.
Now create a Scheduled Task for any application, open its Properties
when you are done and overwrite the command-line here with a proper
command-line for DEFRAG.
