How do I schedule defrag?

[Tim]

W9x just did it. I can get the defrag window open, but it doesn't start.
(C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\dfrg.msc)

Tim,

You are attemping to schedule the GUI interface to the built-in
defragmenter - which will not work. You need to schedule the command line
interface - defrag.exe.

I've tried that and other variations. I'm guessing that dfrgntfs.exe is
what I want to run, but it won't.
