Sorry replied to the wrong message. Open Task Scheduler, check
the Active Tasks pane. It should be listed there.

Re: Vista Goes Back For A Refund.

Cheers for that much appreciated, but it still keeps damm analyzing the
disks, so annoying!

Re: Vista Goes Back For A Refund.


Jerry I think you are looking for this to switch off the bloody
annoying defrag. You need to be in normal view not classic view to do
this (control panel) .

Jonah

1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Selct the Control Panel Home
4. Click System and Maintenance
5. Under the Administrative Tools section at the bottom, click
Defragment your hard drive
6. You may need to grant permission to open the disk fragmenter
7. Click or unclick Run automatically (recommended) depending if you
want this feature enabled or disabled.
8. Click OK
