Try this for defragging....works a lot faster than default Windows defrag and seems to work just as well.

So is that better than Microsoft's? What is the difference? I will do it because we all have a need for speed

I use this
JkDefrag v3.34
Great free defragger, that won many many awards. It uses the windows default engine but uses a new frontend with more defragging options. You can also download GUI's for it to make it a little easier to use.

Your PC should defrag itself once a week. My guess is you turn it off every night, and thats probably when its set to run the defrag. The Vista defrag is an ugly thing .. I replaced it with a freebie from Auslogic.Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry ChapinComment

See my link above for the Auslogic defragger WT to read links better *grins*

Troop, you could have at least put the NAME in there for your sad excuse for a well worded link !
Now it looks like > I < have to knife you as well. Shouldn't be that hard of a task to do either.
Funny thing is, reading the Maximum PC link (I subb'd to it as well) they dispel the notion that these third party defraggers are better than the Vista built in one.

Note I am noting the Vista defraggers, not the XP one. Big difference it seems.Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry ChapinComment

They actually also noted that defragging doesn't give a big performance gain in any case. Although they didn't test a completely silly stupidly fragged disk. I've been quite happy with the Auslogic one. And oh, WT? Bring the knifing biatch

Same, always been impressed with O&O.Originally posted by Apache Warrior View Post
I would change to something else but once you get something you like, there is no changing.
I've no issues with O&O it works in the background quietly when i'm afk, or not using my machine much.
Like just now its working on 'stealth' mode, it quietly defrags files while i'm working on the PC and I don't feel it.
I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

That is exactly why I like it. I never have to worry about defragging my drives.

Diskeeper does the same thing. It also has some boot time defrag options. I really like it.Originally posted by Sirex View Post
I had an older version of Diskeeper when I initially installed Vista. It wouldn't work on Vista for some reason, so I sent an e-mail to Diskeeper and they gave me a free upgrade to the newest (at the time) version.
EDIT: I read the MaxPC article about defragging, and I am skeptical of their results...

I haven't read it but by definition all defraggers do the same thing. Place files into contiguous blocks so as to avoid head skip. As long as whatever one I'm using works I don't really care.
As for performance increases I think a drive would have to have it's FS pretty much fragmented to hell to affect the machine noticeably. Although depends on how your accessing the drive I supposeComment
