Hi Andrew,
The disk activity you hear when your Vista system is idle is
the infernal indexing process. It is supposed to provide
you with fast searches for files, text and all sorts. But
it's a major overhead, and a paid in the proverbial,
especially when you cold boot.
With Vista you can set up scheduled defragmentation, though
I don't feel it is particularly efficient.
George.

Hi,
Do people really find that running these defrag utilities
make a difference? I used to do this back in the old
Windows days, but I am used to Linux and other operating
systems where this wasn't really necessary, and I never
really ran the defrag application under Windows XP, though
note that Vista does some sort of defrag automatically when
idle.
