Indeed it does. I have my C drive compressed and I haven't noticed anything wrong. I assume Defraggler uses standard APIs.

LOL! Very nice.

Hello.
There is one "trial of fire" that I like to run on every defragmeter I try and, believe me, I have tried almost 15 or 20 of them.
Namely, to hit *again*^the "defrag" button after finishing defragmenting. Then if defragmenter starts again, it's a bad one for me. A good one would say "drive already defragmented". Unfortunately, using Defraggler 1.20 on WinXP on a non-system 100GB partition, it starts moving data all around even if it's has been defragmented a few minutes before (and it took it a long time to complete). Of course, the partition was defragmented and no process was having any access to it. What do you think? Could this be considered a bug or just a bad placement strategy choice?.
PS - Well, it's true defraggler won't start again when defragging an already defragged drive, but it will move a lot of files from the center of the drive if some files are added/modified. Still testing.
-
Yes, that's what I meant. I do not use "move large files to the end of disk" option, but using Defrag Drive defragment 100% all my drives. Do you have a lot of programs running in the background? Any programs that may be accessing the disk?
-
Which method of defragging are you using?
-
Well, I've searched for discussion on this bug and failed to find any (perhaps because I am very new to this forum!!).
If you know that this has been discussed - perhaps could you point me at the discussion.
That would be helpful.
HERE. And I think there are more posts related to this issue.

I think this has been discussed before. Yes, it seems to be a bug.
-
It could be space taken up by System Restore Points.

Where did you get CC from?

I have said several times that for me Windows built-in defragmenter takes a lot fewer time defragging huge partitions. But it isn't fair comparing Defraggler "slow" method to Windows built-in defragmenter one. When using QuickDefrag, Defraggler is faster and it allows for defragmenting single files.
-
Your call. I prefer to keep most software updated but I advise reading the changelog first.
-
Are you sure? Even if hightlited, Defraggler refuses to do anything for the $MFT, at least for me, running Windows XP. If I force it to defrag, it will say, "0 files defragged".
-
Thanks!
-
Thanks for the heads up.
-
That's my thought too. Defraging after booting from BartPE or similar. And, yes, I know of Diskeeper and PerfectDisc boot-time defrag capabilities but they are paid products.
-
It's there for me. Running Windows XP.
-
Check the second option under Options > Advanced
-
More cleaning = more risk of sweeping anything important for the system
-
I can confirm this. Defraggler DOES defrag the $MFT.
Not for me or not thoroughly.
-
If you delete pagefile.sys it will be recreated on next startup. If you have enough contiguous space it will probably be created without fragmentation.
-
Hello.
I would like Defraggler to be able to defrag MFT and NTFS metadata for non-locked drives/partitions. I have the bad feeling that it cannot be done using Windows defragmenting API. Anyway it would be nice.

You are looking for FOLDER names. It won't work.

I don't see any real difference when going from 3.6.3 to 3.6.4
I am still under good old WinXP and I have just a few plugins and extensions (unMHT, SaveImages, Java, Flash, QT)
-
I don't see any GUI differences between 1.19 and 1.20. Maybe that's just because I am using older W98 theme on WinXP.
XP SP2 is dead.

There are still some quirks I don't like about Windows 7 (like being unable to turn off f*****g Video Write Combining). Still running WinXP SP3.
