[RESOLVED] Degrag and optomize

[mbarton]

What in the %^$# is the difference between defrag and optomize?

Smart defrag doesn't even tell you. !

Defrag and Optimize are two very different things...

Optimize is just updating your prebindings. Prebinding basically looks up and stores information that is required to run programs ahead of time so that it doesn't need to be looked up on each launch.

What defragmenting a hard drive basically does is; push all the files together, removing free spaces, write files contiguously, and some advanced defragmenters put files in certain orders based on what they are likely to be used with or how often they will be used.

Hope this solves your query...
