First, let me thank you guys for another outstanding release. That may not go said enough, but I do love the new changes, including the countdown timer.
However, there are a couple bugs with 2.09:
- Only time I can enable shell extension is during install. Any other time I try doesn't work, including toggling "Save settings to ini" on & off.
- Still does not detect my drive rotation rate (7,200 RPM WD Sata drive).
Hope these bugs get fixed as I quite like both the shell extension, & I hate seeing "Unsupported" for Rotation Speed:
I could possibly capture the registry key created by Defraggler on first install, then create a silent import of the key for whenever I want to use it, but that's a lot of trouble! Not to export the .reg key, but to have to import it each time I want to toggle the feature.

Edit: Fractional Defraggler debug log listed below (the part dealing with obtaining drive info):

This is on a clean 32 Bit Windows 7 install with AVG.
No firewalls/backup programs/harddisk lockers, etc. Just plain ole W7 at the moment...

P.S. What causes a problem getting drive data? Seems it has a problem while trying to access drive health status + perhaps RPM of the drive?
