Hi David,

Sure... just run the "Add Scheduled Task" Wizard available in System Tools,
listed under Accessories
It's pretty straightforward.

Post back if you have any problems.

Regards,

p.s.
Sorry.. I should mention that to schedule it.... you should use the non-gui
version. Unless there's a way to get the GUI version to auto select the
buttons 'analyze' or 'defragment'... otherwise, the gui version would
launch, and just wait until selections were made....

The program is defrag.exe, and is located in the Windows\system32 folder.
To familiarize yourself with the parameters available to you, go to a
command prompt, and type "defrag/?" (minus the quotes)
It will show you the structure of the command that you'll later enter in the
Schedule Wizard
