Refers to Defragmentation?

Mmmmm let me see, oh yes it's in the middle of the Properties screen.

Can't you see it? Do you have Malware?

Well it's not there Seth is it?

If I click defrag now it will go straight to defrag where I can analyse the partition.

You tell me where it says that it will auto defrag every 4 boots.

I think Seth is referring to this Wolfey.

Ok but mine was set to run once a week not every 4 boot ups, all I'm saying is that a clearer explanation would have been better.

Goku - me and Wolfey were being sarcastic as we saw the defrag options but not the 4 reboot options

Yes, I understand that. You put in too much honey in there.

Of course, the schedule might have been altered due to various factors but the fact is that both of you are right at their own points. Another setting to disable while using Vista!

Hi, hope you don't mind me posting a quick question here, when I analyse my XP hard drive ( the hard drive was just out the packaging last week) its saying that I need to do a defrag. This seems a bit strange as my vista laptop hasn't been defragmented for the last 6 months and the scanner is still saying that I don't need to defrag.

I guess I probably messed about with the pratitions a bit, could that be a reason and should I carry out a degrag like it suggests.

There is no apparent harm in defragmenting the drive mate. You can go ahead and give it a try. Just make sure it doesn't bother you with the same nag again.

Ah, now I see where the confusion came in. My instructions were just a response to:

Quote:
Do you have to disable a setting to stop it from doing so?

...in which I just showed where the settings were.
