Put defrag.exe in a scheduled task running under an administrator
account that have a password set.

In the link below you will find the following vbscripts (that runs
defrag.exe):

defrag_all.vbs - Defrag All Hard Drives - Can be run as a scheduled task
Does not create an error log

defrag_all2.vbs - Defrag All Hard Drives - Can be run as a scheduled task
Creates an error log and displays the error log when complete.

How to Automate Disk Defragmenter Using Task Scheduler Tool in Windows XP

There are two defrag tools in XP.

dfrg.msc is the pretty one that opens from
Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools.

defrag.exe is the command line tool that runs from the command prompt.

defrag.exe is the one that you can schedule.
