Re: Defrag Problem

Well O&O Defrag Pro is a 3rd party defrag tool that adds a few handy feature
when defragging and is signifigantly faster the Win2k or WinXP's built in
defrag tool (which is actually a stripped and de-optimized version of
DiskKeeper, another defrag tool).

The reasons I like O&O Defrag is that its really fast and you can defrag as
mainy drives at the same with it limited only to your systems hardware. You
can also defrag 'locked files' like your swap file and the Window Kernel
Files at bootup, defrag to the order of Last Acessed, Modified, Date
Created, Alphabeticaly, or Manual (so you can put all of your important
system files and programs at the front of the disk were the access speeds
and times are the fastest).

There is also a Stealth option with basicly launches defrag in the
background of the system and then monitors your defrag percentage and when
it reaches a user settable threshold will then start to defrag in the
background when your system is idle. And that is a great feature if you are
on the computer alot and want to (or have to) shut down the system at night
so you can't schedule a defrag at 2am. And on the plus side in this
'Stealth' mode it uses only 12-16MB of ram and 2-5% cpu speed on my AthlonXP
2000+ w/ 256DDR.


Anyways check out the free trial at there website:

They also have other utilities that are pretty nice to have.
