Certainly, XP and Windows 2000 defragmenters were. There is a rumour that the Vista and Windows 7 defragmenters are based upon Diskeeper technology. It stands to sense that an organised hard drive is better, but on the basis that the ‘home’ versions of disk defragmenters lack the hard-core defragging options found in the professional and enterprise versions, is there any point in the home user buying something like Diskeeper? There is a question in the back of my mind.Īll Windows computers benefit from the occasional defragging. I ran a manual defrag on each drive just to get it going, and a popup appeared to tell me that ‘auto defragmentation’ is better than a manual run. I will also not manually run Auslogics defrag for the same reason. In the meantime, I have disabled the scheduled Windows 7 defrag utility to stop any fighting over where each utility thinks that files should be. Thereafter, if I have any problems like before, it will be off the system faster than a loosely nailed tin roof in a hurricane. If VSS does it, I will try the ‘standard defragmentation. I will keep my eye on this and report back. The big question is whether Diskeeper 2011 will destroy Windows 7’s ability to retain restore points as the 2010 version appeared to do. In between, there is just a text window which is really quite boring. The other enables a ‘before and after’ pictorial view of the process. The default for Diskeeper is to organise the files on the disk for efficiency, and it is probably best to leave it this way at first, One of the settings that I have changed is the ‘defrag using VSS defrag’ which is now enabled. Both can be unchecked such that you do not see them again OK, done? There is a system report page which opens after the above is closed. This is the panel you first see when it opens. It has been released to the tech community first, and today I downloaded and installed the Pro Premier version. will be released to the public on the 22nd of this month to the general public and business community.
