*correction: you need to put the JkDefragScreenSaver.exe also in windows folder too for the screen saver.

Sorry about the audio quality. Mic Boost was on. I lowered the volume after recording but it's still very blown.

Also in the scheduled task settings, you can make it stop defragging by checking the box "stop the task if computer ceases to be idle". Forgot to mention it.

This defragments pagingfiles / "registry hives"

If you read on the jkdefrag page it tells you how to use tweakUI to change the default defrag program

  • I downloaded the JKdefrag and ran it yesterday. I even let it run all night. 24 hours later, it was still running. LOL, is this normal??

    Granted, the drive I was defragging is 80G and probably hasn't been properly defragged in a long time. The drive is almost completely full. But should it take that long?

  • if you got p2p or other downloading going on it will do it infinitely.

  • No, I didnt have anything else running. I shut down everything else. I wasn't downloading anything.

    It said it was at 100% at 4am this morning. I checked it at 10am and same thing and it was still running.

    I am not a computer expert by any means. Pretty much a novice. So I was just wondering if I should have left it running. I dont really know how to tell if it completely did the job.

  • every time it reruns it scans the disk to see if there's any optimizations it can make. you probably just caught it rescanning

  • It's fast, easy and it uses "different" defragmenting "method", which is lot better!
