? About Defragging

Am I right in assuming you dont need to manually defrag Wind 7, it will do it automatically once a week if needed? Just want to make sure. Thanks

The default schedule is once a week. That will typically keep your fragmentation percentage under 5%. You can check to confirm the schedule or to change it--I think the default is every Wednesday?

Plenty good enough unless you consider yourself to be obsessive.

Thanks to both of you, I just wanted to be sure. Sandie

K, thanks I just changed it to Mondays at 10 am, its always on then.

Ok something weird, I went to the Disk Defragmenter, and when I clicked on Analyze, next to OS(C: its saying 34% analyzed, and has been at 34% now for well over 2 hours, seems like it just stopped. I have never opened that before so not too sure if that should take that long.

I've never had the "analysis" function take more than 1 minute or so.
