vista and defrag

I'm new to vista and one care, the only way i have found to defrag my hdd is
the old fashion way--right click on the hdd select properties -tools and
defrag. is there an easier way? using one care i dont have the option for
tune up as they call it--Am i donig something wrong?

By default, it defrags every Wednesday at 1am. If your PC isn't on then,
it does it when gets turned on next.

You can set the time in Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>
Task Scheduler.

If you are referring to being able to just defrag without the other tune up
utilities - No.

Recommended method is all prog->accessories->system tools->disk defragmenter
to reschedule, not task scheduler, although this is what Disk Defragmenter
ultimately talks to.

The exe is dfrgui if you prefer win+R
