Defrag
Greetings:
Within my task scheduler, Windows Defrag is configured as such: %windir%\system32\defrag.exe -c-i-g I believe -c is to defrag my c:\ drive. What are the switches -i and -g for? Thanks in advance...j |

Defrag
defrag volume [/a] Analyzes the volume and displays a summary of the
analysis report. defrag volume [/a] [/v] defrag volume [/v] Displays the complete analysis and defragmentation reports. When used in combination with /a, displays only the analysis report. When used alone, displays both the analysis and defragmentation reports. defrag volume [/f] Forces defragmentation of the volume regardless of whether it needs to be defragmented. /? : Displays help at the command prompt. -=- "JCG" wrote: Greetings: Within my task scheduler, Windows Defrag is configured as such: %windir%\system32\defrag.exe -c-i-g I believe -c is to defrag my c:\ drive.

Thanks for the info. However, what does -c and -g do. Maybe it is an error
in Vista setup?

Hi, JCG.
As Ǝиçεl said: /? : Displays help at the command prompt. At the Command Prompt, simply type: defrag /? That should produce what I call a mini-Help file that shows the switches and parameters available with the defrag command - and the syntax for using them. This shows that all the switches use the slash "/" character, rather than hyphen "-". Many commands will actually accept a variety of such characters; I don't know if defrag will accept "-" for "/". And they usually are not fussy about "c" or "C" - but they are insistent on the colon when referring to volume ("drive") letters. Use defrag /c to "Perform the operation on all volumes". Specify defrag C: to operate only on Drive C:. This does not show -i or -g as available switches, and I don't know what those do. They may be a part of Task Scheduler, rather than of Defrag. RC -- R.
