Automated Defrag

To automate your weekly defrag session:

  1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then choose Scheduled Tasks (or if you have Task Scheduler running in your System Tray, you can just double-click that).
  2. Now double-click Add Scheduled Task and click Next.
  3. Now choose Disk Defragmenter from the list of programs, and click Next.
  4. Now select the frequency with which you want to run the defrag program, then click Next.
  5. Now choose the day and time. If you leave your computer on all the time, set the Defragmenter to operate during the night, while you're sleeping.
