  1. What you are seeing is completely "normal". Normal in a sence that it isn't Defragglers fault, but "" as it is caused by the slightly stupid way the shadow copy system in Windows discover changes to the files. The issue is that not only deletes or changes to files make Windows store a shadow copy for recovery, but also changes to where on disk things are. The idea is probably that it should be possible to go back to exactly the way the system were before. Meaning not only restoring the files, but also having the same information in the exact same location on the disk. I cannot for the life of me see why it is necessary to implement the system to work like this... Anyway, turn it off before defragging and back on again when done. Be aware of that turning it off deletes all restore points so be sure you have no settings you want restored, files you have deleted that you might want back or have changes you might want to undo. This ensures you have more free space when defragging, less unfragmentable space locked by the restore points and Windows doesn't go bananas during your defrag session by creating a heap of huge restore points. To turn it off in Vista go to Control Panel->System and Maintenance->System->System Protection. Uncheck the checkbox next to the drive you want to defrag.
