well after doing some work with Vista I can say the defragmentor is set up to run automatically without batch files. however the program gives you much less info then windows xp does. still have yet to try it with the command prompt.

I'm getting the "feeling" that the Vista defrag is a "RunOnce" type of program on the first boot; I have yet to see it running again. I have done the -b option in Vista and after a couple of those it seems to boot a bit quicker (5381)

no, go to My Computer-(the drive you have Vista installed on)-Properties-Tools-Defragment and it comes up with a dialog asking/telling you when the auto Defragment is. At least thats the way I remember it... Next time I boot into Vista I will check.

still have yet to try it with the command prompt.

currently its the same output for the command prompt.

i hate to dig this back up, but i didint want to start a new thread.

i made improvments, to the origional script i posted
now the script defragments 10 times... and thats the magic number that i found to get EVERYTHING defragmented...

soooo just copy the text below, save it as def.bat , and put it in your C:\windows folder, and to run it... at the run prompt (winkey + R) type def DEIVE LETTER:

sooo lets say i wanted to defrag my c: drive.
i would type

Code: Select all

def C:

enjoy!
here is the code.

Code: Select all

@echo off
title DEFRAGGER %1%
color 0a
echo i am a defragging utility, i will defragment your hard disk.  this will perform 10 passes!
echo the first paramater must be passed on as a capitol letter, and have a ":"!!! this is IMPORTANT!!!!

echo the drive letter is %1% , i hope this is right!

title %1% pass 1
defrag %1% -b
defrag %1% -v

title %1% pass 2
defrag %1% -b
defrag %1% -v

title %1% pass 3
defrag %1% -b
defrag %1% -v

title %1% pass 4
defrag %1% -b
defrag %1% -v

title %1% pass 5
defrag %1% -b
defrag %1% -v
'
title %1% pass 6
defrag %1% -b
defrag %1% -v

title %1% pass 7

yeah you could. i am also rusty though i can't really remember. i remember i had trouble with drive letters.

[c0ldfyr3]

would it be

Code: Select all

def C: ; B:


[l33t]

would it be

Code: Select all

def C: ; B:


i am not in windows ATM an cannot test this, however, i don't think that would work as my "program" just passes the first command line argument to the command "defrag" in the form of a drive letter.

all my
