Talk:Microsoft Drive Optimizer

message: I understand that in the past Windows Dosk Defragmenter was licensed from Diskeeper and was essentially the same product. Is that true in the Vista version?
I absolutely hate the new Vista defragger. There is no longer any graphics to suggest how the process is going. It takes forever to run because apparently it was designed that way, with no provisions for the user to speed things up. Very disappointing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.154.253.187 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 9 August 2007
:Although you are entitled to an opinion this is not really the place to discuss it. I would recommend to search the Microsoft Technet pages to obtain more information. Microsoft implemented defragmentation and optimization software in the NTFS5 drivers but left it to third parties to use these in there software. See for instance Jkdefrag for one of these.Theking2 (talk) 10:49, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

message: In Windows 98, possibly ME, there is a setting to 'Rearrange program files so my programs start faster'. There should be an explanation on how the files are sorted differently when this is enabled. 
Activating this enables Disk Defragmenter to arrange the most frequently used programs and the files they sequentially call upon launch to the beginning of the partition. The monitoring of file usage is done by taskmon.exe and the technology is called Intel Application Launch Accelerator. This is similar to Windows Prefetch used in later versions of Windows. https://books.google.com/books?id=7eoCec_3FyAC&pg=PA322&lpg=PA322&dq=defrag+rearrange+program+files+so+my+programs+start+faster&source=bl&ots=zz3qadHiYn&sig=ACfU3U1DPFd741E5obrYz2IBjWKNDj6IYA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjcnJ2K4IrjAhVCCTQIHWKsCq0Q6AEwD3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=defrag%20rearrange%20program%20files%20so%20my%20programs%20start%20faster&f=false— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.254.87 (talk) 22:30, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
