How often should you use Disk Defrag? I now have mine set for once a
month. Thanks.


The stock answer is that it depends on your patterns of disk usage.
But FWIW, since Windows XP was released I have occasionally done a
disk defrag and never, with XP or Win 7, never have I ever seen it
make any improvement.


Agreed. I've never seen it make a noticeable improvement. My
environment is XP and 7, all on NTFS. My advice is to just skip this
task.
