Any easy though prob. not the most secure way would be to use Windows Scripting Host (WSH). ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

i'm not worried about security, i just want to defrag my hard drive on a schedule... I can save it as VBScript and execute in the scheduled tasks. ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

and you can't just make a DOS-based batch file and run that .bat file from the Scheduled Task area to run because why? no reason to bring VBscript into the mix ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |
