The built-in defragmenter is very much more of a background process, most
users won't ever open the UI. Even if it did have a progress bar, they're
very rarely accurate.

Well, I see.
As I have disabled the background defragmenting, I run the whole thing
manually from time to time and so it would be quite nice to see a bit more
of what's going on.

Would you recommend to use another defragmentation tool?
Maybe there are some out there (maybe Freeware) that offer some
visualization.

Most people have better things to do with their time than sit and watch
little boxes or bars being shifted around.

The Vista defragmenter is a background service that does what must be done -
when your computer is idle. It needs no interaction from you and is
sufficient for the task.

What I dislike is looking at the task schedular event log and see that the
defrag aborted because it ran more than 3 days. And I can see it start and
stop during each of the last 3 days. But I have no clue as to what it did.
Is it caught in a loop?

If you want to see what's going on for free Auslogics is good. I use
Diskeeper which is not free but has a very nice interface with lots of
options like offline defrag, and automatic defrag. It's a top-notch program
and works great. It does have a full function free trial.

Why is it so hard to understand what this person wants. A lot of people want
to see what is going on.

How about Microsoft letting *US* decide what we want to see or not see?
They could add an option to run in either GUI mode or in background mode.

I don't like companies (or governments or other people for that matter)
deciding what I should be allowed to see.

I use Piriform (same people that publish CCleaner) Defraggler. OK with Vista
and can defrag DriveSpace as well as files.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I'm with you, Mark. Have been using Diskeeper for several years, now, on
several units - it's efficient and reliable, and I love being able to
customize when it does its thing and how often. I have it defragging my
tower's drives and my USB drive as well, in the wee small hours when I'm
asleep.
