I would like to regularly run defragmentation during night hours.
However, when I program it as a scheduled task, the UI window opens
but - since I don't click "Analyze" nor "Defragment" it does nothing and
sits there waiting for my input. What option or flag do I have to pass
so that it actually starts defragmentation (preferably even if the free
space is less than 15%%)?

Start button --> RUN --> type in:
cmd /k defrag /?
--> Click OK.
That should give you the command line optioons you would want to use when
making your scheduled task.
Probably: defrag c: -f

I would recommend getting JKDefrag. It has a command line version which
is ideal for running as a scheduled task.
The Windows XP built-in defragmenter defragments just the files; you end
up with defragmented files (they are individually contiguous on disk)
but they are spattered all over your disk.
JKDefrag (which is free, and nothing to do with me) defragments the
files, but also moves them as close as possible to location 0, which is
the fastest part of the disk.
After I'd run JKDefrag I though my applications were hanging when I
launched them, until I realised that the disk accesses involved were
almost silent because the files were all clustered together (no pun
intended).

By default, JkDefrag maintains a free space of 1%% of total disk between zones:
directories (at start of disk), regular files, SpaceHogs
There are many options for optimizing, compacting, size of free space,
sorting, forcing all to start or end of disk, etc.
