Alan,

I don't believe you can do that because the defrager for Windows 2000 is
a MMC Console application which isn't like a standard .EXE file.  Plus,
the defrager does not accept command line arguements nor does it allow
you to setup a configuration on how you want to defrag and what to
defrag.  

I believe this feature was in WinNT but not in Windows 2000, at least
not to my knowledge at this point.  I have searched Microsoft's site
with no luck in obtaining and reference material or any documentation
that proves/disproves either side of this issue.
