Should we be celebrating or something?? The glorious success of letting his computer run and defrag itself. I'd bring cake but I'm on a diet.

Try using Auslogics Disk Defrag. It's free, fast and thorough at defragging, though not quite as thorough at compacting as the built in Windows one.

Lol, some pretty poor super fragmented HD's have been shown here. Poor things should be put out of their missery indeed. I guess that for some users an auto defrag option, enabled by default would really be required to prevent this poor HD torture across the globe.

Speaking of defraging, I think I'll format my laptop, it is a year old now and I tend to format my computer every year or so

OMG, neglected laptop HDs are even worse considering how hot they run. If I had a laptop I would get a laptop cooler to go under it and use it whenever running CPU intensive tasks like lengthy defrags.

I don't think that 20,000 files is a lot, I've got over five times that on a single 60gb partition (100,000 so far). With still more files elsewhere.

I've gotten so used to Ext3, and Reiserfs, that I've forgotten to defrag my Windows Partitions for probably three years now... And the main one is a *gasp* Fat32 partition. The one mentioned above... 80k+ on a Fat32 partition, which hasn't been defragged. Now that is scary...

Tell me, my friend, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

That Ultimate Defrag not only looks cool, it optimizes the speed of your HD by allowing you to place some files in the outer part of the disc. I was wondering why the graph is disc shaped, makes sense. I think I'll give it a try.
