How do you defrag your computer?

[Smallville]

For years I used Diskkeeper. Today I downloaded Google's Defraggler: http://www.piriform.com/. I also downloaded cccleaner and their recovery program. It's taking a while to defrag all the drives, but hopefully subsequent defrags will be shorter.

I've always just used the one that comes with Windows. But I'm willing to try almost anything Google puts out. Let me know what you think when you finish.

I'm wondering if it's taking so long because Diskkeper is not as good as I though it was. It will take a few tries to see what I think of it but I'll let you know.

I used to use DiskKeeper all the time back in the "good old days". Since, Windows has made their own disk defrag a lot like diskkeeper. I just use the reg. Windows one.

JKDefrag but I'm interested in trying the Google one. I didn't know there was such a thing.

Well I used this on my work computer and our four machines at home and it seemed to do a good job. I'm going to do them all again tonight and see what I think then. The first defrags should take the longest.

Definitely let us know what you think. I always just use the Windows defrag.

Well I finished all three drives here at work and it took at most one-third of the time it took yesterday (I never saw it finish any of the drives so I am not sure how long it really took) so that looks good.

I've used this one for quite some time. It seems to work good.
