SUMMARY
This article describes how to configure ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter to
run without user intervention using the Task Scheduler tool.
MORE INFORMATION
To configure ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter to run without user
intervention, you can add command-line switches to the properties of
a scheduled task. To do so, use the appropriate method:
Configure ScanDisk
- To configure ScanDisk, double-click My Computer, double-click Scheduled
Tasks, and then double-click ScanDisk.
NOTE: If ScanDisk is not listed as a scheduled task, see the following
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information about how to
add a scheduled task:

TITLE : How to Schedule a Program Using Task Scheduler
- In the Command Line box, type the following line
<path> <drive>: /noninteractive /silent
where <path> is the path to the Scandskw.exe file, and <drive> is the
letter of the drive you want to scan. ScanDisk runs without user
prompts if you use the /noninteractive parameter (switch). The /silent
switch removes the summary screen.
For example, you could type the following line:
c:\windows\scandskw.exe c: /noninteractive /silent
Configure Disk Defragmenter
- To configure Disk Defragmenter, double-click My Computer, double-click
Scheduled Tasks, double-click Disk Defragmenter.
NOTE: If Disk Defragmenter is not listed as a scheduled task, see the
following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information about
how to add a scheduled task:
ARTICLE-ID: Q178706
TITLE : How to Schedule a Program Using Task Scheduler
- In the Command Line box, type the following line
<path> <drive>: /noprompt /q
where <path> is the location of the Defrag.exe file, and <drive> is
the letter of the drive you want to defragment. Disk Defragmenter runs
without user prompts if you use the /noprompt switch. The /q switch
defragments only the files.
For example, you could type the following line:
c:\windows\defrag.exe c: /noprompt /q
