Some users would like to defrag all of their hard drives at once while they go to work or sleep.

To do this you could use a simply batch script which would run a script that starts defrag sequentially for every hard drive installed. The user running the script needs admin rights or use a shortcut to run the batch file with admin rights.

I have four partitions with the drive letters C:, D:, E: and F: which means that the batch script will look like the following:



@echo off
defrag.exe c: -f
defrag.exe d: -f
defrag.exe e: -f
defrag.exe f: -f
