Defragment in Windows Vista?

[bty18571784]

Is there any way of doing a defrag in Windows Vista and actually see what is going on. Before Vista Defrag would take 20 mins or so - now I have never seen one finish???

Vista does this automatically - but you can download third-party software which has more robust options and features. Auslogics Registry Defrag and Defraggler are the best free registry defrag programs. Defraggler is brought to you by the same company (Piriform) that makes CCleaner - a great program.

JKDefrag, which is better than Windows Defrag and is completely free:

Double click the JkDefrag executable and the program starts. There is no need to tell it which drive to defrag or whether to place folders first. JkDefrag will start processing all mounted fixed volumes it finds. It will analyze and defrag each drive, and can be run from a usb drive, so you can use it on any computer with no need to install.
