yep,
you can hook up jkdefrag as your screen saver and run it that way automatically.
the windows built in defragger is a brain dead version of disk keeper,
and does a very poor job of defragmentation.
in my investigations, one of the things i noticed was a lot of files simply can't be moved.
with perfect disk, i was able to easily identify which files were the problem, and in most cases
it turned out to be the recycle bin that was causing the problem.
If you delete a directory, it is moved into the recycle bin as a directory,
and/or a large number of files in the recycle bin may cause the creation of a subdirectory.
When you empty the recycle bin, these directories are not deleted.
after futzing around a while, i found a trick that lets you really empty them.
i set the recycle bin disk space level to 0%, effectivly turning it off.
I rebooted and physically deleted the recycle bin file on each of my partitions.
I set the recycle bin disk space level back up to 10%, and rebooted.
when i ran perfect disk after that, the subdirectories in the recycle bin were gone,
and the defragmentation was better.
Ya I always empty the recycle bin, I also turn off system restore, since those
can stop any defrag, I don't have it running on my other drives, since its kind
of pointless
