Scheduled Tasks?

Napalm
Hey, Is there a way to run defrag from 'schedule tasks'? Not just to turn the program on, but to run it (i. e. at 5 in the morning, my computer defrags one of my partitions and then another) without my intervention? Is there a way? Otherwise, what is the whole point of 'scheduled tasks'? - Napalm.

Preacher
How can one install Creative Labs Unified drivers while using Detonator 5. 13? I own a CL GeForce and everytime I try to install Unified it says I´d need a CL graphics board to do so. I also tried with CL´s drivers for the GeForce but nothing happened either.

CooMarlin
I've got a standard Supermicro mid-tower ATX case that turns itself off when win98 shuts down. Shouldn't it do the same with win2K? When I shutdown win2K I get the It is now safe to turn off your PC, but I have to manually hit the power key on the case.
