I have recently installed a trial version of Diskeeper 2011. My OS is Win7 64 bit.
Automatic Defragmentation is enabled for all drives including my RAID 0 SSD boot disk (I have enabled HyperFast for this drive).

I see that Diskeeper doesn't automatically run on start-up, it doesn't run like a TSR program. To enable Diskeeper do its Automatic Defragmentation should I manually run and minimize it every time I boot and use my PC?

Hello Kursun,

Diskeeper runs as a Service in Windows. It is this service that starts up with Windows.

What is a Windows Service?
Quote:
On Microsoft Windows operating systems, a Windows service is a long-running executable that performs specific functions and which is designed not to require user intervention. Windows services can be configured to start when the operating system is booted and run in the background as long as Windows is running, or they can be started manually when required.
Ref: Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_service


If you open the Task Manager in Windows, then click on Services tab, you will find Diskeeper somewhere in that list or if you have an older version of Window, you will see it as DKService.exe in the Processes tab.

For you this means that all you should need to do is to make sure Automatic Defragmentation is enabled in Diskeeper, ensure HyperFast is enabled on all SSD drives, and reccomended that you enable IntelliWrite on all drives.

After that, just let it run. In most instances, manual defragmentation is not needed.

Please keep in mind that running Manual Defragmentation jobs using Diskeeper causes the Automatic Defragmentation to run less frequently. An aspect of Diskeeper is that is does everything it can to use less resources while keeping up performance.

Hope this sufficiently answers your questions.
