I am trying to put together a maintenance script that can be run with just a double click. I want to be able to give this to others so they can do it too. In testing here is what is happening. I double click, it starts to run, but when it gets to the point where there are keystrokes it stalls. I close out, and run again, it works fine. Every time, Every machine. Any suggestions? The script is below:

setkeydelay, 0500
sleep, 5000
runwait cleanmgr.exe
winwait Disk Cleanup for
Winactivate
send {tab 2} {enter 2}
run cmd.exe
sleep, 1000
send defrag.exe c: {enter}
sleep, 2000000
msgbox, Thank you, it is now safe to restart your computer.

Also, is there a way to get that msgbox to come up after the defrag has run, instead of putting a timer on it? Thanks for any help.

RunWait waits for cleanmgr.exe process to close before continuing execution. I guess the reason it works every time other than the first must be that the code tries to run cleanmgr.exe as a duplicate process which the executable won't allow but closes the new instance immediately. Try using Run instead.

Hey Kellianjaxon,

you do not need to run cmd.exe and send text to run defrag.
You can do it like this:

Heres another way. Not fully tested so use with care
