Command-Line Switches for Disk Utilities

This section describes the commands that can be used from the command line to run the Windows-based versions of the ScanDisk, DriveSpace, and Defrag disk utilities. These commands are provided to allow these disk utilities to be run from batch files.

Note

To provide compatibility with existing batch files, Windows 95 provides a start command to allow synchronous use of Windows-based programs from the command-line. To run a Windows-based program from the command-line and wait for it, use this syntax:

start /W "program_name arguments"
