[QUOTE="bogdan, post: 34795, member: 2"] It is not necessarily about boot time defrag (defragmentation during the boot process, in the way 3rd party defragmenters do it to defrag files that are in use while Windows is running such as MFT, page-file, registry, etc.) but defragmentation of files used during boot. Windows tries to lower the time a machine takes to boot up by defragmenting the files that are used during this process and placing them in faster areas of your HDD. It is a good feature and as far as I can see Auslogics doesn't interfere with it. It lets Windows do its job. If the registry option is on you can perform this optimization by running defrag c: -b at the command prompt. If the registry setting is turned off you will receive an error message. [/QUOTE]
