Configuration Information:
Version: 4.0

Is it possible to use the Norton Antivirus program scheduler to run
M.S. Scan Disk, Disk Defragmenter, and to reboot the system?

I have figured out the command lines for Scan Disk and Disk Defrag,
but I do not know how to input their settings, e.g., which drives to
scan & defrag.

I have not figured out the command line to restart the system. Is
there such a command line to reboot and bring up Win95, just as if
the machine was turned off and on?

Thanks for your help.

You should be able to cut and paste a working command line into the
scheduler's command line. The scheduler does not have the built in
capability to restart your system, however, you may look on the internet
for utilities that can restart your system then include them in the
scheduler's command line.
