    I currently have several scheduled tasks, and I was wondering what my fellow geeks had. I'm mainly looking for computer optimization tasks that you are using, ie. defraging, scanning, etc.

    It's not a scheduled task (although it could be easily), but this is what I use for basic maintenance:

    Code:
    @echo off
    PATH %PATH%;"c:\program files\ccleaner\";"c:\program files\pagedefrag\"
    ccleaner /auto
    if exist "D:\CGL\My Logs\chkdsk-c.log" del "D:\CGL\My Logs\chkdsk-c.log"
    chkdsk c: /c > "D:\CGL\My Logs\chkdsk-c.log"
    chkdsk d: /x
    defrag c:
    defrag d:
    pagedfrg -o
    shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Maintenance Complete!"
    Script assumes that I have CCleaner installed, and the PageDefrag executable in the c:\program files\pagedefrag\ directory.

    When run, this will silently run ccleaner to blast temp files, run a chkdsk against my hard drives, read-only for the system drive, with a log written to the storage drive.

    Then it defrags both drives, and schedules a defrag of my registry and pagefile. Then it shuts down the computer.
