| Vista 64-bit Ultimate Win7 64-bit Ultimate XP SP3 32-bit Pro | Hi Brink. I just loaded Auslogics Disc Defrag (thanks by the way for the list of free loads) and I have read that some have had some trouble with Vista Defrag, is there some other way to disable Vista Defrag so that it doesn't cause problems later? Maybe you have a Tutorial that I havent found yet? As always no need for speed. Thanks a bunch! Later, Bare Foot Kid |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Disk Defragmenter Hi Bare Foot Kid, Nope, you did not miss anything. Unchecking the Run on a schedule option will turn off the automatic running of Vista Defrag. It will then not run unless you manually run it, so it will not hurt anything to let it sit dorment. I just deleted the shortcut in the Start menu for it and replaced it with a shortcut for Auslogics instead. ![]() Shawn |

| Vista Ultimate | Re: Disk Defragmenter How odd. My defrag is set to auto. How did that happen? I know I didn't do it and it wasn't done the last time I defragged, just a couple of days ago. When I clicked on it, it started defragging instead of the usual, check volume thingie first. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Disk Defragmenter Hi Bubba, Did you have it set to run on a schedule? It may be still running on or finishing from the set scheduled time. Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1 | Re: Disk Defragmenter In my experience (and as I have also read elsewhere), waking the computer to run defrag will not work if you set the computer to ask for a password upon waking up, correct? Do you know a way around this (without removing the password)? Also, I was wondering if defrag will continue its job even if your computer goes to sleep? Thanks for any help. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Disk Defragmenter Hi Hannaxbear, and welcome to Vista Forums. I have not tried it with Disk Defragmeneter, but if it will not wake the computer to run due to this, then removing the password is the only workaround that I know of. You might take a look at this to see how this works for you. Task Scheduler - Wake Up Computer If you manually have Disk Defragmenter running, I believe the computer will not go to sleep until it has finished. |

| Vista Home Premium 32 Bit | Re: Disk Defragmenter I unchecked auto schedule for disk defrag a while back. Looked at it again today and its re-enabled itself. Not sure why. I cleared the check box again, and installed disk keeper. Now Vista defrag does not show up in the tools menu. I can get to it with the command line dfrgui though. Where has the listing of it gone from tools? |
