WHY?!? This whole boot-time defrag is totally missing the point. I
mentioned it as a throwaway point as a consequence of the fact that
UltraDefrag has a native interface. It is is NO way required to use the
boot time option to defragment files. Using the normal online GUI
defrag, the program should be able to defragment any and all files
regardless of owner or permissions, subject only to files being in-use
and locked exclusive. Any decent defragger should be able to do this.
Certainly it appears that the built-in defrag and JkDefrag do not
qualify as decent.
