I only use Defraggler to to defrag files that I frequently use.

I never let it defrag the System Restore files as they are huge and can take a long time especially if you have System Restore set to its maximum 12% size.

I rather use Windows defrag to defrag the whole hard drive and I only do that once per week.

On Windows Vista that is the default and its set for Wednesdays if I remember correctly.

yeah, i think i should just deselect the Restore Files. really no need to Defrag those right?

Is something wrong???? Just downloaded Defraggler and it's been working on an 80GB laptop C:drive for 7 hours and just hit 1%. The drive was 55% fragged, and i pulled off 9 GB of data to make the drive 23% free. How long should this take???

Any thoughts/answers welcome.
