    Thanks everyone for their input on this subject.

    The compiled wrapper script is a great sounding workaround except....as
    Simon points out, it would be easy for a relatively IT savvy user to
    save the compiled exe and put it on his home machine, and then run a
    debugger on it to locate the decrypted admin password!!
    Not sure if any of our users have that capability judging on day to day
    events!! BUT have decided we will just have to bite the bullet and buy
    commercial defrag software that allows a normal user to defragment their
    machine.

    Thanks again for all the input
