Is there anyway of tweaking the schedule for auto defragmentation in Windows Vista?

Currently, the highest frequency you can have is every day at a given time.

I was wondering if anyone has succesfully managed to tweak the registry to alter the setting say to every 3 hrs or something?.

(I have searched through the reg but can't find anything to alter Hehe

)

Why would you want to defrag your HD every 3 hours? You can set it on a schedule by clicking on start/admin tools/disk defrag/ see image below.

Diskeeper provides a Beta copy of Diskeeper 10 for Vista - it is a full working copy and will be good for one year. Go to that site and download it. It can schedule derag as often and how you like.

I hope this helps. Smile
