  1. Shoot me or reroute me if this is the wrong place, or what I want is out there and obvious, but I can't find the information I need:- I use CCleaner Free, and it's great, but I need to keep 4 (non-business, all in one place in my home) laptops going - XP, Vista, 7, 8. If I buy CCleaner Professional Plus, do I just get a licence for one of these - in which case i need to think carefully about where it should live and which ones should stay on Free - or can I legitimately run it on all 4?
  2. By design, I keep a lot of large files on my USB drive, but this also has most of my user data, so I can use a computer in the UK and one in Spain equally well. This is a good candidate for the 'Move' option. But my internal drive isn't a good candidate for it. It's easy to forget to change this option depending on which drive I'm defragging, and the time penalty for such forgetfulness is huge. It would be nice if this were settable drive by drive, as my drive letters don't change very often
  3. Which - the 12GB or the 1.3mB? I didn't look. But currently, I've got 600MB of fragged files (2 files, 2 fragments each) in there. As Defraggler won't touch them, I wonder why it bothers to list them? Or at least, it could maybe mark them pink instead of red, to show 'fragged, but not defraggable'
  4. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature enhancement suggestion. But when a defrag can actually go backwards, I lean towards 'bug'. Defraggler 1.16.165. Windows Vista Ultimate, 32-bit, Toshiba Equium 100. 75GB drive with 10GB free space. Lots of big files. Defraggler defragged my USB drive, 75GB with 35GB free space just fine, including 'Move Large Files to end'. Left a few files undefragged, which then mostly defragged on a second run, but maybe there'd been some internet activity going on. However, on the main drive, it started with 9GB of fragmented files, 6% fragmentation, and finished with 12GB fragmented files, 18% fragmentation. I think the effort of trying to move all the large files, in the restricted and fragmented space, was too much for it. A rerun with 'Move' off left it with just 3 fragmented files, 1.3 MB, 0% fragmentation, so that's good. The Vista defragger ran just three days ago, and left me with the drive in about the 9GB/6% state that Defraggler found it in. However, it might be good if Defraggler could determine that it was in a case like the above (lots of big files, restricted space) and suggested not using Move, or even declared it would run without it. Unless you think Defraggler's techniques are such that it ought to work anyway?
