Re: Auto Defrag Script

oh no. I don't know how to write them that well. I am mid semester in a
begining programming course. I found mostly what I needed to do it online.

Sorry that didn't work either, but on a lighter note, I found something
that does work. I wrote a small program that asks the user if they want
to defrag before shutting down. "No" ends the program and the script is
never ran. Thank you for your help.

I forgot to add that when/if you want defrag c: -f to run, press any key

You might try using pause on the first line.

pause
defrag c: -f

Pause suspends processing of a batch program and displays the message
Press any key to continue . . .

While the command window is open waiting for a key to be pressed it can
be closed with the Close [X].

Thank you, but this didn't work. It just sits at the "Running Logoff
Scripts" until the defrag is done running. I also have these do system
backups in the logoff, but those come up with an interface that it can
be cancelled with. Any other ideas?

cmd /k defrag c: -f

I am looking for a way to incorporate an auto defrag into the
shutdown/logoff via group policy. The command line is:

defrag c: -f
(forces defrag of C:\)

My problem is that when I reboot or logoff, it takes forever. Now
this is not a problem at the end of the day, but during the day I
can't have it.

Is there a way to have the cmd window appear when the script runs so
that I can just close it out if I don't want it to run?
