raxco perfect disk is pretty good, I tested out their trial but I didn't want to pay for it.

In fact, I believe that the defragmenter that comes built into windows vista is pretty good except that it should tell you it's progress so you know either what percentage is completed or the estimated time to completion of the defragmentation process.

And gladly, windows vista's defragmenter has an autopilot option so it automatically defragments on a schedule you can set up.

Hi everyone. Its been awhile but I had to respond to the smart defrag topic.
I've tried quite a few defraggers. smart defrag, auslogic  etc. I was updating cc cleaner and notice piriform had a new defragger called defraggler. I've got to tell you, after running it one time I could not believe how well this defragger works. It is absolutely the best one I've tried yet. I only wish I could of took a before and after shot of it but I didn't think to do that. I talked my wife into installing it on her computer. By the way, she's not one for defragging often like I am but even as bad as hers was when she ran it once it looked as good as mine although it did take about 30 minutes to clean hers up. She could not believe hers could ever look that good. It would be good to see the experts here give it a try and comment on it. Thank you. midwestman76

She could not believe hers could ever look that good.

What are you talking about, the user interface for defraggler?  What aspect of it looked so good to her?

Hi soybean, I was referring to how good it defragged her C:drive.  she was running advanced windows care with there defragger, then she'd run auslogic defragger.  After looking at the windows xp home defragmenter she still had fragments everywhere. then she ran the piriform defraggler and it just totally defragged her drive. happy belated thanks giving.

In my opinion, I think it's almost impossible to get a 0% fragmented drive. I think that 1% is pretty good and that's what I've been getting

But I'd have a defrag program on autopilot so I don't need to remember to defrag anyway.

oddly I never get O% defragmented. Always nder the 1% defrag but never O.

A problem seems to have developed with versions 1.02 and up.

Anyone else having a problem where Smart Defrag doesn't shut down the computer when you tell it to do so after defragging?
I am, and it ruins the point of me having this great program.

I'm using version 1.02 but  I was not aware of that because I haven't tried using the auto-shutdown feature.  Yeah, that glitch is going to a source of dissatisfaction to users wanting to use that feature.  They'd better fix that soon.

what is the purpose of this program?

[BC_Programmer]

look up the word "Smart"

then look up the word "Defragment"

then put 2 and 2 together.
