Defragmenting HDD

[Xinam]

Do any of you bother? I'm doing it right now cos i'm bored and sad! And it's gonna take ages ! I try to do it every couple of months, dunno why, always have! What about you guys?

 

[David Lindon]

I do it. It takes about 10 minutes. You should do it regularly anyway!

I do it, say, once every 3 weeks. This computer seems to be a little less prone to misplacing it's files. Only takes me around 5 or 6 minutes.

 

[David Lindon]

Do it more regularly. It will be quicker.

Do it more regularly. It will be quicker.

I will from now on... maybe once a fortnight. If I can be bothered! There should be a facility where you can schedule a defrag and it does it automatically. I should e-mail microsoft and tell them of my idea!

 

[David Lindon]

There is. The scheduled tasks!

 

[Xinam]

There is. The scheduled tasks!

Ah! But I don't see a defrag task in the scheduled task wizard...?

 

[David Lindon]

Then browse!

 

[Xinam]

Then browse!

I've done it! I'm quite chuffed with myself! I never knew there was a task scheduler in Windoze! You do learn something new everyday.

Yep, you certainly do. Well done and congratulations!
