Defrag

[The_Maestro]

Hi, I have a real dumb question, well it seems dumb to me, but I still can't figure it out. I want to set up my PC to run a defrag on a regular basis how do I set it up/can I set it up to automatically run a defrag on my drives?

You could try with the built-in Scheduler.
A more elegant, and definitely much better, solution is getting Diskeeper.
www.diskeeper.co.uk for Europe
http://www.diskeeper.com/defrag.asp for others

Here's how to schedule the built in defragmenter

However i'd like to agree with RealBlackStuff, its much faster, and has great scheduling features

I like O&O myself
while on the subject,anybody have trouble defragging file that are encrypted.
everytime I try to defrag a drive with the file ext. of .sef
O&O just sits there drive starts making noises
I tested moved files drive defrags fine
the drive that now holds .sef files does the same thing
how can I get around this???
also just got the new server version
can't connect to other machines even after log in
do I need a mmc plugin for login app
