Conclusion
We really used the Task Scheduler quite a bit – I originally thought I would write this How-To using a lot more batch files – but that’s the great thing about modern computing, you can specify command line arguments (actually, that’s really more like retro computing ).
If everything went according to plan, your Schedules Tasks folder should look like this:
Each task is spaced out to allow enough time for the individual tasks to run, leaving the most time for the defragment process. As hard drives grow larger, and the amount of fragmentation increases, this task may need a lot more time to run (although, if you’re running it weekly, that time should decrease). You can edit any of these times to fit your needs, just double-click the task and click the Schedule tab.
