Well, look what I found
**************************************
Scandisk Shortcut
Right-click on a blank area of your desktop (somewhere without an icon). A
context menu should appear. Choose `New', then `Shortcut'.
A window will pop up asking what command to run for this shortcut. Type
"scandskw /A /N /P".
Click Next.
Windows will ask to confirm the name of your shortcut. Since "Scandskw" is
not very friendly, type "Scandisk", "Scan All My Hard Drives", or something
else meaningful to you.
Click Finish.
The /A switch in the example above tells Scandisk to scan all the
non-removable drives in the machine. The /N tells Scandisk to start
automatically. The /P tells Scandisk not to automatically correct errors.
Defrag Shortcut
Once again, right-click on a blank area of your desktop (somewhere without
an icon). A context menu should appear. Choose `New', then `Shortcut'.
A window will pop up asking what command to run for this shortcut. Type
"defrag /all /F /noprompt /detailed".
Click Next.
Windows will ask to confirm the name of your shortcut. You can type a new
name here or just go with the default of "Defrag".
Click Finish.
The /all switch tells Defrag to defragment all the local fixed disks. The /F
tells it to do a full defragmentation. With /noprompt, Defrag will start
automatically. The /detailed switch is optional, and just tells Defrag to
run in the `Show details' mode.
*******************************************************
Yes, I am using the scheduler but it does not give me the option to schedule
a "scandisk" type program or a "defrag" type program like W9x does.
