  1. Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? In line for uproar for My baby's bday.

  2. You know what happens when your dog gets attacked by a skunk? You get attacked by a skunk.

  3. Time for work again. Let's get this day started! (And keep fighting off what ever is trying to make Me sick.

  4. Finally got a WORKING new phone.

  5. Didn't even think about remoting in. Thanks for the idea! Might mess around with this a bit more. Maybe a macro? Don't know much about them but the way I understand it, it would follow my exact mouse clicks and keyboard entries? So something like: Start > Run > Task Scheduler > Defrag > 1st of every month. Hmm I'll have to look into it. Was trying to take care of all my family and friends without having to log into each individually, just send a mass email and be done. Thanks for your help digip.
  6. I'm trying to set something up for say my grandmother half way across the country. Something I can email her and it'll run, setting up the tasks, without her having to figure anything out. Have it all automated and simple for her. So I'll do the work here and she won't have to. So in order to use the bat to "create the automated tasks" I need to use that "AT" command in my bat? Also how do I assign more than one command to the bat?
  7. I've made a bit of progress. I came up with: "CleanMgr /d C:\" and "defrag /c /h". However it seems the Defrag command can only be run by the Admin? How would I start the .bat with Admin rights? Also I seem to be having trouble creating the .bat with more than one command in it. How do I execute a list of commands in one .bat file?
  8. Ok so I found http://ss64.com/nt/ very helpful when programing .bat files. I got the disk clean up (sorta) done. I'd like it to be more automated and not ask which files to clean up but at least I got it running. Now for the Defrag then the Disk Checking.
  9. I'd like to create an executable that I can send to friends and family that will automate computer maintenance such as Defrag, Disk cleanup, and Disk Check. I'd like it to be compatible with XP and 7 and possibly through Windows Task Scheduler so it'll be automated for a period of time. I found the steps for each at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/maintenance.aspx but not sure how to turn these steps into an executable like a .bat? Any suggestions where I can learn to do this? Thanks, Jerf.
