Status: offline 		I'm using a script for a universal login I found on this site that works really well.  Recently, I've been asked to set up and schedule cleanmgr.exe to clean the disk as well as defrag.  When I added it like so:


      

It threw the error:



I found in an MS newsgroup posting, that if you use double quotes, it allows you to pass commands with spaces in it, such as the file's pathname, like so:


      

Then on the client, I get "invalid switch /f" on the defrag schedule and "invalid switch /sagerun:64" on the cleanmgr schedule.  How to go about doing this without error?
