There isn't a policy like that per se, but you could use Software Restriction Policies (it's in Windows Settings and has been since XP) to block the defragger. Or just change the NTFS permission on the file. In any case, it's c:\windows\system32\dfrgui.exe For Group Policy queries, post here. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/threads Thanks

Agree with MYousufAli. By the way, why do you want to disable disk defragmentation ? Its not a good practice to disable system scheduled tasks.If it looks good, Eat it !
