I use a alternative to the windows defragmentation application that is faster than the windows version called auslogics disk defragmentation: http://auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag but if you wish to work with and re assign the time of the windows application, it is in my "windows 7 useful hints" download off my grab bag site: http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com along with numerous other useful hints for windows 7 use and repair. or you can follow the tips out of one of it's files, "windows 7 tips and tricks" below: " Setting up scheduled defrags is easy: 1. Click the Start button, type defrag, and click Disk Defragmenter. 2. Click Configure schedule. 3. Choose a time when your computer is turned on, but you are not using it. 4. Click OK and Close to save your settings Your disk will now be defragmented regularly.

I did search and thought I found it but it vanished.. I tried going through control panel, found the maintenance button almost entered on it, but didn't want to get somewhere that I could do more harm than good. So, do I envoke this maintenace button or not? Also, when I found the defrag, it said it was set to defrag at 2/a.m. each morning, well now...I am in the habit of shutting down my laptop each night, so should I leave it on so it can do this defragging?
