Hello--

I followed the instructions in KB article 555098 and did a test. The defrag
program opens when the scheduled time comes, but it does not start the
defrag. The first window in defrag asks if you want to defrag or analyze.

How can I schedule a disk defrag to run and not just open?

Many thanks,

Stephen

Sounds like they're using 3rd party, such as Raxco. If you're using Raxco's
Perfect Disk, use its scheduler instead. If you're using another 3rd party
tool, see if they have a scheduler built in. Also check that program's Help for
command line switches to automatically choose an option.
