Two Defrag Programs?
I have JKDefrag and the windows default defragmenter on my machine. Is it
ok to have both or will they conflick with each other? I would prefer to have the JKDefrag, so would it be ok/safe to remove the default defrag? System: Acer 2450 laptop Windows XP - Home Edition SP3 , Explorer 7

It is OK to have both, but you should only run one at a time. I would prefer to have the JKDefrag, so would it be ok/safe to remove the default defrag? Yes. JkDefrag is excellent. -- Best regards, John Navas http:/navasgroup.com

I have four installed and they all work.
Just never try to run more than one at a time on the same partition. "slick1" wrote in message ... I have JKDefrag and the windows default defragmenter on my machine.

While on this subject: Which is better or worse? I have Disk Keeper 2007
installed, but I don't know if it is any better or worse than anything else. (Naturally, Disk Keeper says theirs in the best)

/Everyone/ says theirs is the best. And everyone who uses a third-party
defragger thinks theirs is the best. What are you, some kind of troublemaker? ;-) --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est jp2msft wrote: While on this subject: Which is better or worse?

Haha! Yeah, probably!
Disk Keeper is nice, but it removes the references to Windows' Defrag and replaces those references to their own links. I *guess* Disk Keeper is working, but it would be nice to have a comparison tool that I could open up to view whether or not Disk Keeper is doing all that it claims.

I believe DiskKeeper offers the /option/ to replace Windows' own
defragmenter, but I don't think this is the default. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est jp2msft wrote: Haha! Yeah, probably!

... I have JKDefrag and the windows default defragmenter on my machine. Is it ok to have both or will they conflick with each other? Under Windows 98, some defrag programs conflicted with others since they used different rules for placing the (now) defragmented files. I assume that these conflicts are still in existence now, but I didn't notice a problem when I tried JKDefrag and Windows XP's builtin version. I didn't notice any difference in my system performance beyond what the builtin Defragment Now does. There is obviously room for improvement since the stand-alone disk image programs manage to not do as much seeking as the Windows Copy function does. Also, none of the commercial programs that I looked at is willing to sort the files in lexical order, which means that there is no way to gauge the progress of the Windows search command, so I'm sticking with the builtin defrag. I would prefer to have the JKDefrag, so would it be ok/safe to remove the default defrag? System: Acer 2450 laptop Windows XP - Home Edition SP3 , Explorer 7
