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!
