Hi,

I was wondering if it's good/safe/okay to have the built-in Windows defragmenter running whilst I'm using Defraggler? I'm using Windows 7 and I'm not sure if I'm meant to disable the built-in one or not.

Many thanks,
Ian. =)

It's safe to disable the built-in defragger. I would only run one or the other; if you run them both they'll actually work against each other. :)

What if your using Defraggeler on drive G: and Windows Defrag on drive M: simultaneously?

Most likely not the best ideal!
Complexity of incoherent design.
