How often do you Defragment?


Recommended Posts

Never :laugh: windows does it on its own if i keep it idle for about 30 minutes or more. I have my puter on for nearly 2 days at a time :)

I think that would be called "every 30 minutes". Not "never" :p

I defrag every day, sometimes up to 3 times a day. I also use Diskkeeper 8 because windows defrag sucks and does a really bad job at sorting out the files.

If you want you're system to run fast and stable its the best thing you can do, also takes less time to do if you do it more then once a day.

defragmenting in screensaver mode :p get diskeeper

Would that work with something like SETI@home or would I have to disable that program's screensaver mode? I'm not able to look it up right now.

I tend to do mine:

After OS Installation

After Autopatcher

Before any backup

and then only when a major app has been installed.
