Contents

How do I set disk defragmentation to run on a schedule?

Click the Start Button >> All Programs >> Accessories >>System Tools. Click Disk Defragmenter. Click Configure Schedule / Turn on Schedule. I recommend weekly for standard use.

Does Windows 7 automatically defrag?

Windows 7 or Vista automatically configures Disk Defrag to schedule defragment to run once a week, usually at 1am on Wednesday.
