I would like to know what the undocumented DNS cache cleaning does and how Windows Vista handles DNS cache?

Not sure I want to delete the journal file... Is that safe!? (Does it rebuild itself?) Has anyone tried that? If so, how did it affect the results from Defraggler afterwards?

I have the following problem(s) with Defraggler. Here is what I have come up with so far. Problem: Extremely slow processing (or possibly no processing at all) when doing a "Defrag Freespace (allow fragmentation)". System: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Build 6002 (SP2) AMD Turion64 X2 TL-68, 4 GBytes RAM, 2 x 250GB HDs I am quite computer savvy, and have the following Vista features tweaked: "volume shadow copy" permanently turned OFF "System Restore Point" temporarily turned OFF In addition I have a suspicion towards the following software components: Symantec Norton Internet Security - (hidden and/or protected files on volume?) Cygwin - (large number of small files) Following problems/bugs occur: 1.) Defrags free space until it reaches a certain "block" (i.e. light-blue colored square). Here it stalls and continues what seem forever without any success. I have repeated this several times and it seem to be in or around the same block area. This area is where there are a large number of scattered light-blue squares (what do they mean?) in the middle of the disk. 2.) There are "white" squares that contains files when you click on them!! (WTF!) [in my case it seem to contain a Symantec file called "NAVENG.EXP"] 3.) "Light-blue" squares are NOT defined in your "Drive Map Legend"... (Is that so hard to do?) 4.) There is a light-blue square that says it contains a file called "$UsnJrnl:$J" in "C:\$Extend\" that is 19 MB in size. (What does this mean?) Conclusion: This is highly annoying and essentially renders your otherwise excellent software useless... So please fix it ASAP. PS. Everything else seem to work fine. (I.e. Both Quick Defrag and Defrag, although normal Defrag still leaves many scattered fragments around the middle.)
