Defrag

[kenbo]

Hi

Can anybody have a look at this and tell me what I;m doing wrong?

RunWait("%windir%\system32\dfrg.msc")

Error is = "Unable to execute the external command"

I have also used "Run" to no avail.

dfrg.msc is not an executable. Try using defrag.exe.

dfrg.msc is not an executable. Try using defrag.exe.

No can do. Still getting the same error.

See this Topic in Scripts and Scraps, it will do what you want or give you some ideas.

AutoIt won't expand environment variables unless you explicitly tell it to:

Opt('ExpandEnvStrings', 1)

I would suggest grabbing SlimShady's _ShellExecute() UDF which would allow you to do this:

_ShellExecute(EnvGet('SystemRoot') & '\System32\dfrg.msc')

Or you could do it this way:

Opt('ExpandEnvStrings', 1)
RunWait('%SystemRoot%\System32\mmc.exe "%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc"')

this will do the trick

Run("mmc Dfrg.msc", @SystemDir)

This is how you defragment a hard drive using domain credentials on XP...

Btw... I LOVE AUTOIT ! ! !

Normal users don't need administrator rights to defrag - and they wont bug you.

Not recommended to have credentials in there... but hey, it works and what do you do...

All the user has to do is click on the compiled exe and defrag! Works in my case!
