Smart Defrag installs the Yahoo Toolbar on normal setup. I found no command line options to install Smart Defrag without the toolbar. To install it without the toolbar i use a trick with Explorer Policy. Add below Registry entrys by Regedit or script, (reg add) ... (Example from .INF script) HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer","DisallowRun",0x00010001,"0x00000001" HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun","1",0x00000000,"ydetect.exe" Start the installer for Unattended setup. DefragSetup.exe /silent After setup you can delete above Registry Keys. Done I think this trick work on other setup's too (Google Toolbar, ...). "Look at TEMP, to find that, you don't want to install". Best regards MCP
