(solved)defragmentation at startup.(Pause for x many seconds?)

Jonas Wauters:
Can it do any harm by just trying it?
Otherwise I'll just add my first batch file to try.
Than how do I have to do that?
By the way thanks for replying this fast.

Jonas ;)

GuruGary:
It won't do any harm by trying it.  You can always remove it from the AUTOEXEC.NT if it causes problems with your PIF files.

I think the better solution is adding a batch file to your startup group.

Starting the Diskeeper program isn't going to be that difficult.  But if you want it fully automated, I think there are buttons and icons to click on to get the defrag started, which will be difficult to script.

Jonas Wauters:
I can't edit autoexe.nt or do I have to do it otherwise than right clicking it and go to edit (because edit is missing.)
If I put my Batch file in the startup file than it'll run when I get my desktop and not before the welcome screen sow it will not be able to defrag  the running processes.

Yes but then it will again be after the welcome screen.
Or am I wrong??

2k_dummy:
You can open and edit autoexec.nt in Notepad.

GuruGary:
You are right, both ways would be after the welcome screen.

The autoexec.nt won't start the defrag before the welcome screen either, though.  But to edit the file, try this:
Start -> Run -> notepad %windir%\System32\autoexec.nt
