Vista - Last Modified file dates

11-06-2008

How do I turn on the "last modified date" in Vista. My defrag says it isn't
available to do an optimal defrag of my files.

JKDefrag optimizes the way it structures your files on the hard drive for
optimum speed. When I selected "optimize" in their settings, it told me the
"last modified date" option in Vista was no turned on. They do this to place
the most frequently accessed files nearer the read/write heads of your hard
drive for faster access. I assume to mimimize the read/write head movement
searching around for files.
