Downloaded JKDefrag yesterday and gave it a try. It worked. Nothing fancy.
Afterward, Windows defrag acknowledged that the disks were defragmented. If you
run the Windows version, it simply launches and runs, giving you no options to
do anything except defrag all the drives attached to the system. The command

brain-dead Windows defrag does not have... Ben

Thanks for the feedback. It is precisely those enhanced options
which have me interested. Defragmenting without regard to file
