I don't worry about it. I just do those things for myself.
I defrag, maybe once a month. I just feel the more items running
slows my system down. And since I've been tweaking Vista services
I've noticed my system starting faster and not having to wait for 5
minutes
after the desktop shows up before I can do anything.

You need to check your startup programs, from your startup folder and
registry startup keys, if you're waiting 5 minutes before you can do
anything.
I timed my Vista system from completely powered off to loaded a web page in
IE in under 90 seconds.
My XP system does the same within 3 minutes, including time it takes to
process group policy settings.
I defrag my XP system once a year, and I do a LOT of file processing.
That's not installing/uninstalling some shareware products. That's
routinely copying/deleting 1.5GB worth of data files at a time.

I understand your desire to watch colors change on the screen but the
built in defrager works fine if you use it as defraging is intended to
be used - as an out of sight/out of mind background task. I set it up
that way 18 months ago and I have never even noticed it running since
then.

What if you desire to watch dancing girls on the screen while your system
defrags?
The first defraggers from decades ago had changing colors and moving blocks.
Step into the 21st century. It's time to replace your rotary phone.

I suggest going to the liquor store and buying a girlie magazine. That
way you can "spank it" in any room you want. You don't even need a
computer.

How is that for progress?

You wouldn't know what to do with a defragger if it bent you over the
table. Just FYI.

There are free versions of Tetris if you want to watch colored blocks move.

what "progress" is!

The colored blocks might be amusement. Some sort of progress bar,
otoh, is a useful feature (something Vista does not include).

Have your dancing girls do a slow strip tease. When they're butt nekkid,
it's finished.

In your case it wouldn't be dancing girls. It would be latex girls!

Place a check mark beside Schedule and select how often you want to run it
and at what time.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help.

When you get it setup the way you like, forget about it forever. It
works just fine on its own.

No need. It's set by default to run on machine idle....
