Disk Defragmenter in Vista is now more worthless than it was in Windows XP.
For whatever reason the Vista team took out the graphical diagram that showed how much of your system was fragmented and the bits of the hard drive. The also took out the little progress bar/percentage of when the Disk Defragmenter would be completed. My wish is to PLEASE put back a real progress bar that shows the percentage or time till the disk defragementation is complete and a graphical view of how fragmented your hard drive is. As it stands now..you might as well run the application and hope to god that it finishes within your time estimates. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

THere's a few freeware ones worth a look. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak......... |

It's made for simple use. If you want on with more options and a better
progress bar, you'd need a third party application. O&O Defrag works good, as do many others.
