During Netmeeting sessions, I frequently must run defrag. I normally CTRL-ALT-DELETE to close all running programs. Netmeeting doesn't have this functionality for anything less than NT. Does anyone know the RUN command to pop up that CLOSE box? I'vetried using TASKMAN but that doesn't bring up resident programs like the antivirus we use. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!!! PS Having the user on the other end do it isn't really an option I'd like to use.
Thanks!!

I can't think of a single reason someone would need to defrag their hard drive during a NetMeeting session. Can you explain it to us?

Why >wouldn't< you run defrag after troubleshooting and taking care of an employee's computer? Especially if their problem is related to having too many temp files/temp internet files that you've just deleted. I want their computer to be running at optimum speed and defrag helps in that respect. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

I am supporting users from three different physical locations. They walk away from their desk while I take over their computer. Our users are generally not very "computer literate" so I must do most everything myself. When they have problems, frequently deleting temp files, internet files, etc. and running scandisk fixes their issues, but running scandisk while the other resident programs are running is not very efficient.
