OO Defrag Software

rycon1 · 8 Dec 2008 at 23:34

Started using this defrag software and i am starting to like it.Think it is the best defrag programs i have used.

If anyone have used OO Defrag.What is the difference between a complete/name and a complete/access defrag.

Complete name says for system drives.
Complete access says for servers/workstations.

I've used this software for the past year and its like the good old windows ME defragger.

When i run it i just click on 'defrag now' get get it over and done with. I hate the idea that its scheduled and if you pick a wrong time to do something on your computer it messes up with things.

However on my GF's laptop with this software, everytime it loads up the software just kicks in!? How do i get rid of it? Also it doesn't show up on the msconfig start up apps.

Anything in the registry editor under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

or

Anything in the registry editor under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

I've seen stuff in here that msconfig didn't flag up, no idea why like

Also have you checked Scheduled Tasks in Windows, it may have created on itself to run on login/startup.

may i ask why you guys don't like using the windows own defrager?

It doesnt do a 100% job like O&O does, windows own is less efficient leaving a lot of fragged files even after 2 or 3 runs of windows own.

name sorts files by filenames

access sorts them by putting frequently accessed files near the start

I've started using jkdefrag ?

However, what settings do you guys use from the drop down menu? There are lots to choose from....

Analyze and Defragment?
Analyze, Defragment and optimize?
Analyze and sort files by last access?
