No, and no again. This has been done to death already, and I believe MS
have got this one right. They point out that it simply isn't possible to
give an accurate or meaningful GUI, because there aren't enough pixels on
the display. Nor is a "pretty" or "pleasing" end picture - with all the
blue bars crammed up to one end - a good indication of whether the disk is
actually optimised for speed and future resistance to fragmentation.
Also, you should never need to run it manually anyway. It runs
automatically every week, and all the INFORMED opinion (as opposed to the
ill-informed prejudices of our resident trolls) is that you can, and should,
just leave it to its own devices.
In other words, FORGET about fragmentation. Let the built-in defragger do
its job - which it will.
