Can't Schedule Defrag?

[christopher]

Disk Defragment is not listed in the available programs
windown (under Scheduled Tasks), nor do I see it as a
valid executable file in Windows Explorer. How do I
schedule Defrag?

Defrag is here:
%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc

But....... if you schedule a defrag using the built in xp defrag interface
it will launch the defrag program, but won't run it automatically. You still
have to push the defrag button.
I did see a script here once that did run one automatically, but not sure
how good it worked and where to find it.

Here's how:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DEFRAG.EXE C:\ -F

Mine runs at 0100 Monday mornings, waking up the computer to carry out
the task.
