    Ice - vista scheduled defrag can be turned off, so there is no guarantee that if they're using vista that it has defragged. Also, default is 01:00 a.m. when not all of us will have our pc switched on !!
    yes but if your pc is not turned on...it will defrag at the next opportunity...such as when you turn it on...making your system seem slow...:)
