Defragmenting your hard drive is a pain. Often the need for a defrag coincides with the need for system performance. We defrag when we notice that our computers are working slowly, and we usually notice a slow-down precisely when we are wanting our computers to work quickly. Defragging at such a crucial time compounds the problem. It can take multiple hours to cleanup a large hard drive. It was in such a defrag-induced downtime that the concept of hsDefragSaver was hit on. Why not have your computer defrag BEFORE a performance problem occurs? Better yet, why not defrag when the computer is idle? hsDefragSaver does precisely this. It is a screen saver and defragger combination, and it defrags your hard drive BEFORE you notice the need for it.
NOTE: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 is required for hsDefragSaver to run. This is part of the Microsoft® application framework. If you are current with the Windows Update service, then you likely have this software already installed. If you are unsure, a free .NET Version Checker is available here.
You can download the .NET Framework directly from Microsoft® at the Microsoft Download Center. Although hsDefragSaver runs on Microsoft® Windows®, no special relationship between Microsoft® and Hachisoft currently exists or is implied by these links.
