What in creation is the logic behind moving files all over the place at each defrag/speeddisk??
This has been bugging me for a while! You install all your programs cleanly on the harddisk organized in such a way that all files that never change are placed to the front of the partition.
(exe’s & com’s first)
When you defrag or use norton speeddisk it rearranges these permanent files based on last access rule with the myth that this will improve performance. IT DOES NOT! I can see if I added applications it could make a difference.
Is it possible to Defrag then go in and mark all the exe’s and com’s (at start of drive) as both readonly and unmovable to stop this??? Also why is the directories no longer sorted on the actual disk???
thanx
