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.

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

Ladies and Gentlemen. This is the same harddrive 1 hour later;

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.
