  1. Old topic, but still relevant (as I don't think this has yet been implemented). When the OP suggested moving a specific *directory* to the end of the disk, it was quite obvious to me they meant the files contained *IN* that directory, not the file table entry as you commented. Take for example my brother's computer (or the in-laws system even). I had copied over much of the contents of their previous computer to a sub-directory on the system. This way if there were some files that were needed but not obviously placed, they could be recovered from that back-up copy. But as they are an 'archive' of the old system, they aren't going to be changing (if they were going to be updated/edited, they'd either copy or move the file to the active documents directory, etc). As they are no longer actively changing, no sense in keeping them in the middle of files being actively changed ("actively changing" can include OS and application files as well as data). The same goes for various video files. If they're bulky and unchanging, might as well get them out of the area of most activity.
  2. It's LONG past time for these app developers to learn they can't have full run of your systems. I don't know if it's maliciousness, laziness (by not checking what permissions their dev kits are setting up) or just blatant incompetence (as in they have no clue of what they're doing). Regardless of which, CCleaner has no place on my Android devices.
  3. Yep, that's what prompted me to uninstall it. If it can't obey a simple "stop running / stop notifying me" command, then it has NO place on my hardware.
  4. In *theory* you can shut off notifications, but in practice, even if you shut off all notifications, it's still running in the background, and will continue to pop-up notifications (I don't want the app running AT ALL until such time as I start it up). Ended up delting it because it irritated me.
  5. I have a WindowsXP system with Defraggler 2.14, and while defraggler can defragment the system drive (C:) with no problems, the data drive (D:) can't get below 22% fragmentation. The curious thing is, the drive is not being accessed. All that drive has is the "downloads" directory, and a file-level backup of drive C:; nothing should be active/open on that drive if I am not downloading or backing the system up. But at various times over the past few weeks I have tried defragmenting that driv, and can never get it below 20% fragmentation, even after running the defrag multiple times in sequence.
