Defraggler is a good app. MyDefrag is the latest version of JkDefrag that has been turned into a defragging "script-engine".
MyDefrag very powerful, but its not for the faint of heart. The sample scripts are very good, and I believe than any commercial defragger I have used. But, if you know what you are doing, you can truly "optimize" your disk as to the data on it and to how you use it: You can control where anything and everything is placed on the disk[1]. 1. Thats open and movable of course. www.mydefrag.com -- ME2 On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 3:43 PM, Burian, Matthew J.
