Hey Guys
Looking for a way to completely defrag my drives without using third party defragmenters. I read somewhere that -w switch is not supported in windows 7. Is this true? Normally I use "defrag c: -v -w".

Put this in a bat file
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: /H /V
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: /H /V /X

Just the C: drive. If you want to add other drives you do it like this, you will see D: is added
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: D: /H /V
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: D: /H /V /X

Thanks for that. Right when you sent it I figured out how to make bat file. It was easier than I thought. Good to know.

I bet you have UAC enabled, right click on the bat file and click run as administrator

Very odd. Can you run it from a cmd window your self?
Also try this in the bat file
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: /H /V
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: /H /V /X

OK so you can run defrag from cmd manually.
Try this, move the bat file to the root of the C: drive and try it.
I notice where you are running the bat file that there is a space in the path. That might be getting in the way.

what the crap lol. I wonder if something is blocking the bat file?
Here is a way to test. Open a cmd.exe window and past this in
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\defrag.exe C: /H /V
Does it work?

Then something is blocking the bat file. What AV do you have installed?
I know Avast has a sandbox mode (Which I disable)

Try disabling avast all together and any other protection you have and see.

Dont see why it would be. You can run the commands from a cmd window but not from a bat file.
Not sure what is going on there. It is like the bat file doesnt have permission to access the system32 dir.
