Okay, that's what I thought- thanks for the confirmation. Yes I think would be a great idea to have df.exe be able to sort of throttle itself back if other programs start to use cpu/disk heavily so the defrag could continue in the background without slowing down the system too much. But I realize that might be a fairly complex bit of code.

I think the "idle" in this case just refers to when the system's Task Scheduler launches the df.exe process. But once it starts, I don't think the actual defrag runs with idle priority. Nor does it seem to yield to user activity once you start using the system again-- at least not in my limited testing. I think what would be better is something like a "screensaver defrag" that runs only while the screensaver is on. Pretty sure DiskKeeper had something like that and it seemed like a good idea.

Happy new year ! anyone have any comments on this idle time defrag?

Hi guys, thanks for the new improvements in Defraggler! My question is about the new "idle time" schedule option. I see that you're using Windows Task Scheduler to implement this. Fine. The question is, what happens let's say, if the machine is idle for 3 hours, and DF starts to work, and then the user starts to use the machine again. Will DF just keep forging ahead or will it "pause" to allow the user to work comfortably and then resume when the machine becomes idle again? Because if the task does not stop when the machine ceases to be idle, then it's not "really" an idle-time defrag now is it? thanks much for your response.

Hello, I am also curious on this & have the same question as the OP. a lot of times the scheduled df64.exe is running but no way to check on its status. Sometimes I want to finish the defrag and then shut down the PC but I have no way to tell if its gonna be done in 5 minutes or 5 hours. it would be great if the gui could be launched and "take over" the defrag process from the background scheduled task or at least display its status somehow.

ah ok thanks, so I guess I'm not alone. hope they fix it soon !

greetings, I am getting an error when I click "Tools" in CCleaner under Win7 x64 RTM : anyone have any advice on how to fix this ? thanks

is there a way to add a /registry switch to the shortcut for CCleaner to launch it by default with the "registry" section selected? i usually use that one and i prefer to start CCleaner directly in that mode. Well if there is a way, please let me know. thanks!!

I agree that an /issues switch would be really a useful feature!!!
