Hi:

Windows Vista Defragmenter is about the worst that I have ever seen. It
does not show you any progression status and it takes forever.

Does anyone have an alternate free defragmenter and/or suggestion?

Thanks,

I understand your desire to watch colors change on the screen but the
built in defrager works fine if you use it as defraging is intended to
be used - as an out of sight/out of mind background task. I set it up
that way 18 months ago and I have never even noticed it running since
then.

What if you desire to watch dancing girls on the screen while your system
defrags?
The first defraggers from decades ago had changing colors and moving blocks.
Step into the 21st century. It's time to replace your rotary phone.

I suggest going to the liquor store and buying a girlie magazine. That
way you can "spank it" in any room you want. You don't even need a
computer.

How is that for progress?

You wouldn't know what to do with a defragger if it bent you over the
table. Just FYI.

There are free versions of Tetris if you want to watch colored blocks move.

The colored blocks might be amusement. Some sort of progress bar,
otoh, is a useful feature (something Vista does not include).

Have your dancing girls do a slow strip tease. When they're butt nekkid,
it's finished.

I am new to Vista. Have Vista home basic. How do I set up the defrager to
work automatically?
Thanks for any info.

It is already set up to run automatically.

Place a check mark beside Schedule and select how often you want to run it
and at what time.

When you get it setup the way you like, forget about it forever. It
works just fine on its own.

No need. It's set by default to run on machine idle....
