i never ever formatted my laptop since i bought it. the key is use good antivirus program,cccleaner and save your maximum files in D and e drives

Do you mean CCCLeaner or CCLeaner? There's results for both, looks like they may be the same thing and that first URL just tried to capitalize on the product.

While it makes sense to do those things, that isn't going to indemnify one against file corruption. Sometimes a reformat (or mirrored backup restore) is all that may fix certain things.

Only does such file moving if the "Move systems files to the beginning of the disk" setting is effected.

Do you mean "checked"? If so, that's the case even if you right click and select the option "Defrag and optimize" ?

Any program that cleans/changes/manipulates the registry, just plain scares the hell out of me. Yes, I understand there usually is a list of registry issues presented before changes are made, but when ever I've used this sort of thing, it finds hundreds, if not a thousand or more, suggested changes. I would never have the time to go through each suggestion and approve or not approve the suggested changes, let alone understand what each entry means or does. When I've left it up to the prog to make the necessary changes usually I end up with more problems afterwards than I had before.

very difficult situation.
You first make partition with DOS. After partition you use easily format option.

Huh??

It must have been intercepted from deep space by NASA and inadvertently redirected to WPW in error.

That's precisely what I'm dealing with right now with the one from AusLogics. Thousands and thousands of results, but no info on what exactly each of them is for! You have to search for each one (and they nicely have a button at the top for "Google it", ........ho hup poh-leeeze....google "this"......why not another SE, perhaps a hack is in order........), ok, it's helpful and better than none, but no one can possibly do a search on each of several thousand results. Most are not listed with any identifiable strings or names! So the only thing to do is: nothing; or let it "fix" everything which is a bad idea; or do a search for each one to find out what it's for. Why can't someone come out with one of these that has right click (or hover) and a "This is for.........", etc., then one can immediately determine whether or not it needs "fixing". Or even better, sort results by product or vendor. Even being able to search the results would be of great help.

As Reg cleaners go, it is one of the best ones I've seen (the search link, backups created for each "fix" the and ability to "restore" them, change results' sort order), but still lacking what I mentioned makes it (and all of them) not very easy to use.

ROTFLMAO. That happens a lot here. Perhaps there is an error with deep space telemetry. Or, my guess would be that Lord Ba'al has undermined the Stargates' correlative updates again leading to inaccuracies in the cartouche resulting in inaccurate destinations.

LOL! That reminds me. It goes something linke this... Freddie says, "Are you a fan of the Phat?". John MacLean answers, "No, I'm more of a Star Wars guy."

"Defrag and optimize" behaves differently depending on whether or not the "Move systems files to the beginning of the disk" option is checked.

Without its being checked, optimization consists solely of defragging free space following files having been defragged.

That I know. What I'm trying to ascertain is how right click & "Defrag" differs from right click & "Defrag AND Optimize".

Without its being checked, optimization consists solely of defragging free space following files having been defragged.

So how does that differ from just "Defrag"?? Just plain "Defrag" does not defrag free space?
