The Rules page looks like this:

To modify an existing rule, select the rule and choose the option labeled "Change Rule…"

To delete a rule, select a rule and choose the icon.

Scheduling an Automatic Defragmentation in Windows XP

noreply@blogger.com (Infinite Data Systems) — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:56:00 +0000

Scheduling an Automatic Defragmentation in Windows XP

Navigate to the “Start” menu, choose “All Programs”, select “Accessories”, choose “System Tools” and select the option labeled “Scheduled Tasks”.

Double click on the option labeled “Add Scheduled Task”.

Choose “Next” at the prompt:

Next choose the option labeled “Browse”

Navigate to the Windows System32 folder and choose defrag.exe; a quick way to do this is to type “%systemroot%\system32\defrag.exe” and select the option labeled “Open”, this will take you to the system32 directory and choose the Defrag.exe program.

Next you will see the following dialogue:

Type in a friendly name in the dialogue and choose when to perform the task. In this example we will choose “Weekly”, choose “Next” to continue.

The “Start Time” is when your task will be scheduled. In this example we chose to set the start time at 3:01 AM; it generally takes a while to defragment a hard drive, and we don’t want it to be running while we are using our computer. You can also set whether the task will run once a week, or on a biweekly basis, etc. etc. Choose which day(s) of the week the task will run and select next. (In order to properly defragment a hard drive, the computer must not be used. That is why we always schedule it when we are not using the computer.) Choose “Next” to continue.

If you are connected to a domain type in the domain name and user name in the dialogue box labeled “Enter the use name:”, if you are not on a domain you will just need to type in the computer name and user name (always use a slash between domain and or computer name and your user name.) Next type in your password and confirm it and choose “Next” to continue.

Mark a check in the box that gives the option to open the advanced properties for the task, and select “Finish” to continue.

Next, you will see the advance properties for the task. In this example the hard drive that we are choosing to defragment is the “C” drive. As you can see in the “Run:” dialogue we added a few key strokes. Without these key strokes Windows will not know what to do with the program at all. It will just open it up display the options and close the program all in the blink of an eye. The options in defrag.exe in Microsoft Windows XP are as follows:

-a Analyze only
-f Force Defragmentation even if free space is low
-v Verbose output
-? Display this help text

In this example, we chose to force defragmentation, even if disk space is low, by using the “-f” switch. The volume we chose to defragment was the “C” drive, and the ":" is the DOS (or disk operating system) way of telling our computer we want to perform this task on the “C” drive. So the finial command is: c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe c: -f

Next choose the tab labeled “Settings”

Mark a check next to the box labeled “Wake the computer to run this task.” This will force the computer to wake up from “Sleep Mode” if you have that power save function turned on within Windows XP. Choose “OK” and you may get the option to retype your password to schedule the task.
