[but I've yet to get it to work at all under Vista...]
There is just one [simple?] change that I would like to see made, and that is
with respect to the "Defrag progress window that is displayed when defragging
files (as opposed to whole drives or folders). The problem with this window is
that it "locks" the GUI, such that the only thing that one can do with Defraggler
when this window is shown is to Pause or Stop the defrag. This can be frustrating
because one cannot minimise the main Defraggler window until the defragging
is over...
Previous versions (up until ~3 versions ago) used a simple borderless white
window for showing progress, and this did not "block" the GUI. Could we
return to that [please]?
In the mean time, for anyone else who finds this blocking progress window a
problem, a near workaround is to use the Action/Defrag Folder dialogue and
select the appropriate drive. This is typically a bit slower than just defragging
the files, but much quicker than a full drive defrag [i.e. including the freespace],
and one can easily minimise the Defraggler window whilst it is working, so that
you can use the PC for other stuff at the same time [and gain access to any desktop
icons that might otherwise be covered by the Defraggler main window.
Has anyone managed to get the Scheduler function to work under Vista ?

<Update>
Ah, yes: the scheduling does work...it runs "df.exe" (the command-line version of Defraggler)
under the scheduling service, so this is invisible (runs in the background).
Can see that it is working from Task Manager (or better: Process Explorer),
