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.

Replies Jay JWLH Posted at 5:39 am on Sep. 11, 2008 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. marshmellowman Posted at 5:15 am on Sep. 11, 2008 You're welcome. Wolf Posted at 5:13 am on Sep. 11, 2008 mmk thanks bunches! marshmellowman Posted at 5:10 am on Sep. 11, 2008 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.
