huck,

real quick, cause i'm on my way out...

you got me to thinking when you said, "My defrag alarm is at 3%". and here's what i'm thinking. there are two ways to set the alarm....

percentage unfragmented
percentage fragmented

if, for instance, your alarm is set at 3% unfragmented, then most of your drive will be a mess before the alarm is triggered! you should confirm that the 3% is fragmented.

this data is located in the properties for disk optimization dialog under the 'style' tab. there you'll see a sensor scale with this info noted. see which % is selected.

if your 'trigger' level really is set at 3, you'd better be sure that 'fragmented' is selected and not 'unfragmented'.

for the record, the 95% i have my alarm set for is 'unfragmented'.

hope this makes sense.

more later.

:)
