Way defrag. I use Diskeeper the full version and not the light version that is built in in Windows.
When you use Diskeeper ther is auto defragmenting at scheduel and analyse basis and you can also defraging in boot time to get locked files. Now it also bouilt in defrag gard thet helping to not get a defragmeted volyme. The only thing you need to thing about is to keep some free space on disks so it´s posible to defrag but that you need to do any way. Recomendet free space to get a goor deframentation is about 20% free space on a disk.

A good idéa is to also set a undefragmented paginfile on the system with a fix size of atleast  memory + 12MB I recomend for 4GB RAM a pagingfile of 4100 MB.

Do a boot time defrag at montly basis with Diskeeper with 20% free space on disk and and erace and recreate after a boot without the pagingfile the pagingfile so you get also the pagingfile defragmeted inside. That help you to get a good prestanda on an system.

A way to free up space on a old disk can bee to check if you have systemrestore turn on that disk. If you have had a stabile system an you know you don't need to go back to a restore point before current data you can turn off the systemrestore to erace old restore points and after that turn it om again to hav the future ability to use new restore point. On old system this can free upp GB of disk. Byt you shuld bee aware that you have non possible to gett a erlier restore point then when you got a point just after you recreate the new restorepoint.

I have been fixing computers for many years, since the larger hard drives have came out the reason for defrag has gone away.  In the olden days you would have to defrag you computer quite often because of the small storage space.  I have not defraged a computer in 3 years and the performance is still as good as it was the day I installed all the software.  If you want to know how much I use of my computer, the only time my computer reboots is after a windows update.  It hasn't been powered off (unless i was in the process of moving to a new home or upgrading parts) in almost a year.  So I have to agree with Samker on this, defrag only if you are seeing a slow down.

I really don't defrag much anymore.  With Vista and 7, you can schedule it to run when your computer is idle, which is great.  XP didn't have this feature without 3rd party software.

It all depends on how much downloading/deleting/changing you do of files.  If you just browse the net without downloading much, then you probably don't need to do it too often.  I would set CCleaner up to clean at startup though.

It depends on how you use your computer.  If you open and write to alot of files (word processing, spreadsheets, local databases) then you may want to defrag once a week.  I used to defrag my drive at work every night as I always had alot of different things going on.  If you just use a web browser and email and don't download anything, then a few times a month is probably fine.  If this is a home desktop you could leave it on while the defrag runs.  This can take a few minutes to several hours depending on how much work needs to be done.  If this is a laptop don't leave it on overnight as (especially with Toshiba laptops) it can overheat and shutdown.

what is better in vista- defrag in normal mode or safe mode?

In my opinion Safe Mode is much better, because it provide better defragmentation results and more important it's Faster than Normal...

Few info. related to this question:

I run defragmentation every weekends regardless of my computer usage, but CCleaner cleans my internet history and other junks each time I startup my computer.

midias, I think it would be better off to run defrag once a week? (in interval?).

how often should a computer be defragmented?
How often to defrag would depend on how fragmented your drive gets and how fast. The analyze feature in a defrag program should give an idea. Some people delete/edit and add files so frequently that they defrag daily or once every few days. Others defrag once a month or couple of months. It would depend on each user.

Hello, I've been defragmenting my computer weekly along with the disk clean up. Is it dangerous to do this? If so why would it be?
Not really since even if you do run a defrag on a drive that has hardly any fragmentation, it doesnt have much work to do anyways and completes in a few minutes.

In fact defraggers like Diskeeper run in real time on automatic mode and defrag whenever required without affecting other programs and system resources. They keep the drives defragged very safely.
