I also run a defrag when I install a game and once a month. Registry weekly and shredding daily.

As for those pics, the owners need a lesson on basic computer management.

I use CCleaner, Advanced WindowsCare V2, and SmartDefrag.

One of the greatest freeware programs out there.

Yeah. The bits and pieces CCleaner leaves behind, Advanced WindowsCare takes care of.

See? Those fragmented files are simply my documents and the like.

Still needs some defragmentation. :)

Purple = Non-movable files. (System files, I believe.)
Red = Fragmented
Blue = Defragmented

I defragment with the format option every year or two. Which reminds me I need to go and buy another HD so I can backup my files again.

Well, it seems like it'll take 5 hours to do another Defrag. Good thing about CCleaner; Vista only allows 1 Uninstall at a time. CCleaner allows up to 5.

My file system does not fragment. I love the ext3 file system.

I got 45gb of music and 2500 pictures. I had close to 60gb of music at one point.

I don't believe I've defragmented since May when my computer decided to reformat itself.

When I first ran Vista I was amazed at how Microsoft seemed to take a step backward with the Defragment utility. Windows 2000 visually showed the state of your hard drive, but Vista was barely a pop-up box without any information. At least it's better than Windows ME. I tried defragging a couple of times and after three or more days they had not finished, and that was with a 37.2 gb harddrive.
