Kevin Tofel from jkOnTheRun had a neat Freeware of the Moment today called Auslogics Disk Defrag. In Kevin’s post he said: “Yes, I know that Windows comes with its own defragmentation tool, but if you’re running Vista, don’t you miss the mesmerizing status of each little file update?

Well YES I DO!! I love Vista but there are some things that just bother me and this is one. It is so useful to see just where you are in the process and this FREE tool shows you exactly where you are. Kevin also said:

This tool not only gives you that Windows 95 experience, it provides some interesting information after making those files contiguious again. Built upon Microsoft’s Safe Defragmentation API, it reports the amount of slowness that fragmented files caused. Free for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Server 2003 on FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS volumes.

I think I’m going to give this a try and you can too by clicking on this link to get to Auslogics Disk Defrag! Great tip Kevin!

Have not run the utility on my drives, its been about 8 months and my PC is lagging quite a bit.
Its probably as fragmented as it can get.I think i will try a more user friendly utility. If i dont do it soon, i may not have any free space left and it might be too late to prevent the ‘disease’ as its called from eating up my drives!
