Looking for name of lost defrag freeware that runs Win2K defrag?

[fitwell]

I'm hoping someone knows the app I'm going to describe. I googled the
ACF archives for defragging Windows 2000 a few weeks back and found an
app that, if memory serves, seemed to run in a DOS box once initiated.
The neat thing is that it would launch Windows 2000's own defrag but
would have it defrag both my drives (partitioned). Unlike the
Win98SE's defrag, can't seem to find a way to get the Win2K's native
one to from the outset defrag _both_ drives at once in this same way.
This was handy in my old OS because I could set it to defrag overnight
and in the morning both drives would be done.

I can't find the app on my hdd found so I must have accidentally
deleted it. For the life of me, can't find the message in the archive
that recommended the app nor do I remember what the app was called.
Hoping that someone knows what it is despite my rather vague
description.

TIA! D

I'm not sure which one you atalking about, but StartDefrag does what
you are looking for, is freeware and even has a GUI for configuration.
It's here:

Among the dozens of such programs (and scripts) is Fragdown, which
defrags all hard drives, then shuts your computer down.

Thanks.
However, neither mirror worked for me.

Thanks for everyone's help! I found it. It's called AutoDefrag and
it's just a DOS box that comes up and launches Win2K's defrag then
makes sure all drives are defragmented. Works great. Cheers. D
