[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 971717, member: 131855"] Programs that run the maintenance scripts are fine to have around and run if you are experiencing a problem otherwise they are for the most part unnecessary. If your Mac happens to be off at the appointed time recent incarnations of OS X generally take care of this for you. After using a Mac since the 1990s I finally broke myself of the defragmentation habit. The only time I had to perform it recently was in setting up my Boot Camp partition. The Setup Assistant complained about a lack of available space. Lest you think I am making both statements up see [url=http://www.macworld.com/article/133684/2008/06/maintenance_intro.html]Five Mac maintenance myths | Mac | Editors' Notes | Macworld[/url] [/QUOTE]
