Disk Defragmentation

AbelsSoft- 'JetDrive 2009 Professional' is a freeware disk defrag utility. This is available free with PC World's March-09 issue. You need to obtain keys online to activate.
My Windows Vista Home Premium disk defrag does not work properly. Scheduled defrag should have PC powered on. 'Defrag now' does not give any result and is over in few seconds.

Using AbelsSoft- 'JetDrive 2009 Professional' - do not defrag memory or registry. It is not recommended.
