Place a check mark beside Schedule and select how often you want to run it
and at what time.

No need. It's set by default to run on machine idle....

Err, one day a week.

If the computer is turned off or if the task does not run at the scheduled
time, the task will run the next time that the computer is idle.

Err here's another quote from Help and Support:

Disk Defragmenter is set to run every week to ensure your disk is
defragmented. You don't need to do anything else. However, you can
change how often Disk Defragmenter runs, and at what time of the day.

Yes, but you don't need to! See my quote above......

There was a young man called Mike
Who lived in the States with a Dyke
He knows not enough
'Bout computers and stuff
But he thinks he does Mike take a hike!!

Mike thought that America was class
"It's the best" he said bold as hard brass
He jumped out his pram
When they mentioned Vietnam
'Cos they kicked the USA's ASS!!

I am new to Vista. Have Vista home basic. How do I set up the defrager
to work automatically?
Thanks for any info.
Mary O.

I understand your desire to watch colors change on the screen but the
built in defrager works fine if you use it as defraging is intended
to
be used - as an out of sight/out of mind background task. I set it
up
that way 18 months ago and I have never even noticed it running since
then.
