re: slow shutdown/reboot Friday, September 18, 2009 at 5:40 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Charlie Hadden (1338 messages posted) Another thing yo can do is if you are willing to take personal control of your defraging chores again you can shut down the automatic defraging. Check out the link below. Many people say that you don't have to defrag anymore and that is only partially true. Vista does it automatically on the fly and can really bog not only the general operating down, but also your shutdown process if it is in the middle of a long write sequence. Also because drives are so much faster and have large cache built in they do a lot cleaner job of writing initially, but defrag is still necessary and can eventually cripple your machine just like the old systems did. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1598/automatic_defrag_disable_and_enable_vista/ Written in response to: slow shutdown/reboot (sean: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 9:55 pm) There are presently no replies to this message.
