Defrag Problem

[dicklaxt]

I cannot schedule a Defrag...........I can get to the selection in the dialog box to do so both in the System Tools folder and or the Control Panel.

If I run it manually, it will record having been done in the dialog box but it will not allow an auto schedule.It just says NEVER!

Is there an enable I must do some where?

I like using Command Prompt .To get into an elevated command prompt , Start button < all programs < accessories> right click Command prompt . Okay the UAC . then you can use these type commands :
Description: Locates and consolidates fragmented files on local volumes to
improve system performance.

Syntax: defrag <volume> -a [-v]
defrag <volume> [{-r | -w}] [-f] [-v]
defrag -c [{-r | -w}] [-f] [-v]

Parameters:

Value Description

<volume> Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the volume to
be defragmented or analyzed.

-c Defragments all volumes on this computer.

-a Performs fragmentation analysis only.

-r Performs partial defragmentation (default). Attempts to
consolidate only fragments smaller than 64 megabytes (MB).

-w Performs full defragmentation. Attempts to consolidate all file
fragments, regardless of their size.

-f Forces defragmentation of the volume when free space is low.

-v Specifies verbose mode. The defragmentation and analysis output
is more detailed.

-? Displays this help information.

Examples:

defrag d:
defrag d:\vol\mountpoint -w -f
defrag d: -a -v
defrag -c -v


I like to check mine , I use defrag c: -a-v
Tells me if it even needs one..
