How to disable DfrgNtfs.exe?
I recently noticed that whenever my laptop is an idle mode for a prolonged
time, DfrgNtfs.exe comes in. I understand that this Vista’s native Disk Defragmenter. Since I am using Raxco’s Disk Defragmentation Utility, which seems to do a far better (and faster) job then the native Defragmenter, I would like to turn DfrgNtfs.exe off so that it no longer runs when the system is idle. The thing is, I can’t find any option in Vista (Ultimate) to do that. I guess there must be some preset schedule in one of the task management routines, but I sure can’t find it. Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction. All help and advice would be much appreciated. |

Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction. You've posted this to several newsgroups. If you need to post to more than one newsgroup please crosspost, sending one message to all groups at the same time, rather than multiposting, which is sending separate messages to each group. Multiposting is counterproductive and leads to duplication of effort. In this case this really isn't a hardware device issue. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

Rok: Ta, but that's unhelpful ...

Maybe you haven't gotten around to all the newsgroups you posted to, eh? ;-) Which points out one of the many reasons one should avoid Multiposting. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |
