Defrag question please

15, 20 - it really makes no odds. I am not making anything up - I know what I'm talking about, I've had it for five years. ??? - It can be scheduled That may be true, but I don't see the relevance since the same is also true for the Windows Disk Defragmenter. No it's not. Prove to me how the native defrag can be scheduled without use of a third-party applet. Press Start - (All) Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Scheduled Tasks - Add Scheduled Task - Next - Browse - Enter '%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc' and press 'Open'. Select when you want to run it, and Bob is your uncle. You've not countered any of my other points, I see... It was not my intention to 'counter' your points, only to correct the points I considered to be wrong. If I wanted to give you a bunch of reasons why a commercial third party defrag application would not be worth the money to me personally, I could. |

Instead of '%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc' you will have to use '%SystemRoot%\System32\defrag.exe c:' for the C: drive, and also use additional entires for other drives. Sorry for any inconvenience. |
