Disk Defragmenter UI

[Guest]

What happen to the Disk Defragmenter UI?

How would I know the progress of the defragment with just a spinning
"circle" icon?? There is no percentage number or anything. I know that it is
almost impossible to predict when it will finish but at least give us some
thing to see or number of "percentage".

Please bring back the "bars" UI (from XP).

I guess they decided not to include progress identifier, since Vista defrags
the system all the time without user intervention. Good point though.
Bugged.

Yeh I thought this - I thought it was because what Andre said, that it runs
as a background service and therefore runs all the time... but yeh, right to
bug it.

Yuk! More ways to slow everything down, and cause disk thrashing. If it
defrags other volumes it could also cause an other o/s to fail to boot
by moving it's boot files across a cylinder boundary.

There was a limitation in Win2k where you could not schedule defrag
remotely, I think it was to do with a license deal with Executive
Software so people would still buy DiskKeeper - I wonder if this still
applies in Vista?

From what I have seen, it only defrags the drive on which Vista is
installed, so partitions or physical drives aren't affected.
