Two Defrag Programs?

[slick1]

I have JKDefrag and the windows default defragmenter on my machine. Is it
ok to have both or will they conflick with each other? I would prefer to
have the JKDefrag, so would it be ok/safe to remove the default defrag?
System: Acer 2450 laptop
Windows XP - Home Edition
SP3 , Explorer 7

It is OK to have both, but you should only run one at a time.

Yes.

JkDefrag is excellent.

I have four installed and they all work.

Just never try to run more than one at a time on the same partition.

While on this subject: Which is better or worse? I have Disk Keeper 2007
installed, but I don't know if it is any better or worse than anything else.
(Naturally, Disk Keeper says theirs in the best)

/Everyone/ says theirs is the best. And everyone who uses a third-party
defragger thinks theirs is the best. What are you, some kind of
troublemaker? ;-)

Haha! Yeah, probably!

Disk Keeper is nice, but it removes the references to Windows' Defrag and
replaces those references to their own links. I *guess* Disk Keeper is
working, but it would be nice to have a comparison tool that I could open up
to view whether or not Disk Keeper is doing all that it claims.

I believe DiskKeeper offers the /option/ to replace Windows' own
defragmenter, but I don't think this is the default.

I use and recommend JkDefrag.
