Disk Defragmenter/Windows Defender in Windows Vista

baby_frogmella

Hi everyone

I am using Vista Ultimate and i have a couple of questions:

1) When i run disk defragmenter, i don't get a nice graph with red/blue blobs with a % like in Win XP. Does anyone know how to turn this on? Also can anyone recommend an alternative disk defragmenter software better than window's?


2) I use my own anti-spyware software in vista (Spyware Doctor) so is there anyway i can un-install Windows Defender? (it is already turned off). Could i at least switch off the updates for defender?

Cheers

1. The colour graph has been removed entirely from defragmenter.

2. Several threads on this, e.g. try here

"Diskeeper" far exceeds the built in defrag tools in Vista.. costs £15, but well worth the money in my opinion.. it keeps you defragged without having to remember to run it all the time!

I second that!
