Efficiency Tip #42 – Sleep Work

 To get to the schedule click Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks.  You can add any program as a task to run at a specific time.  To defrag my drive I run DEFRAG.EXE with an added parameter to indicate the drive I want defragged.  It looks like this

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DEFRAG.EXE C:

When I get up, everthing is finished.  My computers runs more efficently all day long.
