???

- 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.

Sorry, I have to correct myself here. 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.
