FAQ Using - How to run MyDefrag at boot-time?
It's very easy to run MyDefrag automatically in the background when the
computer starts via the Windows Task Scheduler. First create (and test) the task, see
How do I schedule a task, to run automatically every day?
Then come back here and change the properties of the task like this:
2000, XP
- Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks
- Open the properties of the task.
- Open the "Schedule" tab.
- From the "Schedule Task" pull-down select "At System Startup".
Vista
- Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler
- Open the properties of the task.
- Open the "Triggers" tab, then edit or create a trigger.
- From the "begin the task" pulldown select "At Startup".
Note: This will not defragment system files such as the page file. To do that
see the "see also" chapter for a link to Pagedefrag, a free utility by
Microsoft Technet (formerly SysInternals).
