Yeah some people say it's annoying because there isn't a status bar or whatever.  They have an explanation for that, but I have a question...

On my laptop, if I were to run defrag and shut my laptop would it still be running?  What if I left it open and it went into sleep mode?

It has been running for about 7 hours now.

I didn't take you at face value, and I'm fine with what's underneath.

If it was running defrag it wouldn't sleep because it isn't idle. if you're worried about it shutting down when you close the lid, turn of the sleep/hibernate function for the lid closed settings. It should be in the power options somewhere in the control panel.

Don't use it. 7 hours sounds like way to long, unless you have a large amount of space that needs sorting. Usually when I see my processor being used for no good reason, I find that Vista Defrag has run when it wasn't set to, achieving nothing. Stick with a third party defragmentation program.
