Could this finally fix the problem reported with Defraggler?

Defraggler Defraggler Suggestions

It has been said that under Vista/7 that when you defrag the drive, it may cause it to rack up on used disk space due to disk operations in effect such as System Restore.

I read with great interest about this:

In the meantime you can use a Batch script to turn it on/off at will - and the super cool thing of doing it that way is it doesn't delete any restore points -- well this works in WinXP Pro as the Admin, I don't know how it would work in Vista or 7:

________________________________________________________________

Stop:

net stop "System Restore Service"

Start:

net start "System Restore Service"

________________________________________________________________

If this is so, it doesn't delete restore points, might this solve the problem of people talking about free disk space disappearing while running Defraggler?

Can you add a script to stop the restore service before Defraggler runs, then re-enable it again on close?

This would solve all those problems & help retain the integrity of Defraggler, along with fixing all those replies you get from people who don't know why it does that, wouldn't it? Seems like a simple, elegant solution to a long standing problem. Easy fix, simple fix!

Thanks!

Having you been reading what I've previously typed on the forums about stopping the System Restore Service without giving credit.:P:lol:

And yes it does work against programs that cause Windows to remove restore points (free space wipers, some defraggers, etc)! Turning the service off temporarily won't remove a single restore point. I've tested it on my XP system. But like I said in that old post of mine (too lazy to go find it) I have no ideal what would happen if turning off the service in Windows Vista/7.

That's an "up against the wall" offence from thirty paces I believe. (blindfold optional)

LOL! I think that's where I got it from!
