[CCleaner updater checker launches two browsers]

Hi all,

 

When I click the link to check for CCleaner updates, it launches both Firefox and IE. I have my system configured to use Firefox for URL handling, so this seems like a bug.

 

What's interesting is that Defraggler only launches Firefox.

[Compact defrag]

OK thanks. But I still don't get why there is a lot of unused space in between the data. When I defrag my other disks this does not happen. If im not mistaken the disk is faster at the beginning and it would be better to compact the data at the beginning if there is a lot of unused space. Perhaps the files located after the pagefile is too huge to be put in front of it and thus the space in between.

 

Have you tried using the option to defrag free space? It's under Action -> Advanced

[64bit (x64) native build?]

Hi MrRon

 

Thank you for the answer.

 

Wouldn't using 64bit code speed up the task?

 

What about using multiprocessor or multicore tasks?

 

Thanks!

 

You might want to read about the pros and cons of 64-bit software at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#Pros_and_cons

 

Many people have fallen into the trap of believing that 64-bit automatically means faster, and the truth is, this isn't the case for the majority of applications. Whether 64-bit Windows executes 64-bit software faster is not something I'm knowledgeable about.

 

Software like Defraggler are almost always bottlenecked by the performance of your hard drive, not CPU or memory availability. Having 64-bit software in this case would probably not make much of a difference.

 

Hope this helps!
