I have this batch file that runs on XP to defrag all my drives and then shut down. In XP defrag is recognized in cmd, it's not in win2k. Is there a way of doing it in windows 2000? Perhaps with a script?

The XP batch file looks like this;

defrag C: /f

defrag D: /f

defrag E: /f

shutdown -S

Ok, I found a script on this site Disk Defragmenter Scripts , all I have to do is figure out how to run shutdown at the end.

There is no shutdown.exe in windows in native... You have to copy shutdown.exe in %windir%\system32

You should be using the "/R" switch instead of the "/F" switch. "/R" implies "/F". "/F" only fixes and does not recover data.
