can't schedule defrag

Post by Ron Victoria »

I was looking in schedule maintenance so I can defrag during the wee hours. Disk cleanup was listed as a choice but not defrag. I have Win XP. Strange!!!

Open the schedule task wizzard.
Click browse.
The path is C:\Documents and settings\all users\start menu\accessories\system tools\
disk defragmenter

I did that before posting, it's just not listed as a choice. Maybe they don't want you doing it too often.

It's not on the list. You have to click the browse button then navigate to the file listed above and click on it. Trust me. It works.
