how do you set up a scheduled task to clean up a disk (or to dfragment it for E.G.) so that the disk to be cleaned is pre-selected (in other words, the user interface to choose a disk is by-passed)?

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Scheduled Tasks

D-click on Add scheduled task --> Next -->
Broswe --> c:\winnt\system32 --> dfrg.msc --> and choose the frequency, etc.

dfrg.msc is for defragmenting.

I know the procedure to schedule the task, the problem is that when scheduler actually launches the task you are still presented (in the case of 'Disk Clean-up') with which drive is to be cleaned and to task stalls there until the nerd makes a choice! This is what I'd like to by-pass when scheduling this particular task. The solution is probably a script or something.
