Options for disk defragmenter
Disk defragmenter seems to only show options for *when* to defragment. How
can I access options of *which* disks I can choose to defragment, and see information as to how fragmented they are initially, so as to determine whether I want to defragment them in the first place?

Options for disk defragmenter
Check out this link for more information:
http://www.support4vista.com/tutoria...frag-vista.htm It gives you the command line options and explains the usage a little bit. Works like a charm. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Chuck Braman" Chuck wrote in message ...

Options for disk defragmenter
Thanks for your help; that article answers the question. I find it
frustrating, though, that you have to type command lines to do anything with disk defragmenter. What is this, 1982?! Thanks, Microsoft--I think I'll just buy a third party utility. As a bare minimum, it would be nice, since it's so automated, to be able to at least set what disks it defragments automatically.

Options for disk defragmenter
