MyDefrag includes many more features and is much more customizable than Windows built-in defragger. See the detailed help file that comes with the program. There are scripts supplied for analyze only, defrag only, fast optimize, slow optimize, fast update, force together, move to end of disk, sort by creation time, sort by last access, sort by last change, sort by name, and sort by size. The MyDefrag files take up 2.5 mb on my 250 gb hard disk, certainly not much of a dent in space. Bill

More features, more control, faster. Why use Dreamweaver when you have Notepad? Why use Winword when you have Wordpad? Why use Protools when you have Sound Recorder? Why use Photoshop when you have Paint? Why play "World of Warcraft" when you've got FreeCell? |
