Hello,

1.Click on the “Start” button and type tasks in the search box and left click the Task scheduler icon to open it.

2. In the Task Scheduler window, go to Action –> Create Basic Task to create a new task.

3.Since we are scheduling a custom task for hard drive defragmentation, enter a relevant name and description to the task. Click “Next”.

4.In the “Task trigger” option, you have to select the trigger duration on which you want the task to run automatically. You may choose – daily, weekly, monthly or every time when your computer starts. The trigger settings entirely depend on when you want Windows to execute the program.

5.It’s good to defrag your hard disk weekly or monthly, therefore here I am selecting “Weekly” option as a Task Trigger.

6.Now you have to select the start date, time and day on which the task should occur. Check the box next to any preferred week day and click “Next”.

7.In the Action window, select “Start a program” as you are creating this task to run the Defraggler program automatically. Click “Next”.

8.Click the “Browse” button to select the program from the location where it is installed. If you want to create a task to run some other program then you should go to that program’s folder and choose its exe file.

9.A summary will appear in the next screen. Check the box next to “Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click Finish”. Check the Trigger and Action box. If everything goes fine, click on the “Finish” button.

10. In the properties dialog box check the “Configure for” drop down. Select Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 from the drop down menu and click OK.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
