Good Defragger for Win2k

I want to maintain good disk speed and integrity, but the defragger for Win2k doesn't seem to allow scheduling? Does anyone know how to schedule defragging and Scandisk using the default tools or are there any good programs to do this automatically?

Thanks
 
Diskeeper by Executive Software is a good defragger... actually, the defragger used in win2k is a crippled version of diskeeper.

diskeeper has a LOT of nice functions, and tells you if anything is ever corrupt (pops up a msg about running chkdsk /f next time you reboot)

i've heard good things about norton speedisk too, but i'm not too familiar with it

and not to be mean, but this should have gone in the OS or software forum
 
I wouldn't reccomend Norton Speeddisk over the Windows Defragger since it puts all the clusters at the end of the disk. It can be a nightmare for someone who wants to resize a partition afterwards.
 
I use Diskeeper version 6. This has the nice sceduling features that you desire. There is also a "set it and forget it" setting, but I would advise that you be careful how you use this. I eventually disabled the scheduling and automatic defrag in favor of manual defragging. Diskeeper 6 is ideal for an "always on" machine, but I like to have it out of my way when I am on the machine, if you follow me. 😀
