eHow gave this command for defragging NTFS in Linux: fsck -t ntfs --kerneldefrag /dev/XXX which was rebuked by stack exchange . I believe the latter is right: there's no such thing!

If Command Extensions are enabled (which is enabled by default), then there are several dynamic environment variables that can be expanded but which don't show up in the list of variables displayed by SET . These variable values are computed dynamically each time the value of the variable is expanded (but see example below). If the user explicitly defines a variable with one of these names, then that definition will override the dynamic one described below: %CD% - expands to the current directory string. %DATE% - expands to current date using same format as DATE command. %TIME% - expands to current time using same format as TIME command. %RANDOM% - expands to a random decimal number between 0 and 32767. %ERRORLEVEL% - expands to the...
