Smart enough to recognise if a drive is a SSD and won't defrag it. #10 I think i'll pass from using this software then. I have only SSD hard drives and i don't want to do something wrong to lose them. I use this program on ssds and my ssds still work. I only defrag once in awhile after writing several amounts of data in order to still maintain peak performance in read and write. This program and O and O defrag are my only two defrag software's I would trust on any harddrive to defrag it safely. #11 This program and O and O defrag are my only two defrag software's I would trust on any harddrive to defrag it safely. Smart Defrag does not have a SSD specific defrag mode. As a result, defragging with it, is not much different to using any regular defrag software. It won't kill your drive, but is not like O&O which has a defrag mode for SSDs. Last edited: Jan 27, 2021 #12 Smart Defrag does not have a SSD specific defrag mode.

That is true, but Smart Defrag is quicker, so I am willing to have a less accurate and slightly more dangerous method on a ssd to save time. O and O is the best defrag program for any harddrive as it is the most accurate and thorough but it takes longer to use. #13 That is true, but Smart Defrag is quicker, so I am willing to have a less accurate and slightly more dangerous method on a ssd to save time.

Totally agree, but the time it takes is unacceptable!!! #14 Thanks for the Giveaway, but I have already purchased the software. #15 Great deal!! I got it for free

These settings files, as well as any scripts and chat logs, will normally be stored in one of two places:- Your user application data folder.- The mIRC program files install folder.Here's how it works ...When you install mIRC normally, using the recommended installer settings, the program will be installed separately from your application settings, scripts, logs and other user data.When you install mIRC using the Portable install option, then the program and data will be stored together in the same location.You can also manually change this behavior by moving files around your harddrive after mIRC has already been installed, by either separating these files or by bringing them together yourself.Getting into technicalities ...When mIRC sees the file mirc.ini in the same folder as mirc.exe, then mIRC will use that settings file and all the other settings, scripts and logs at that location.Failing the above, then mIRC will look in your user application data directory for \mIRC\mirc.ini and use the settings and files at that location instead.Failing both of the above, then mIRC will create a new application data folder for mIRC with a new mirc.ini file, servers.ini file, and other default settings.In modern versions of Windows, the directory paths of concern are:- "C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC" (Program Files folder containing mirc.exe and mirc.chm, etc)- "C:\Users\MadGoat\AppData\Roaming\mIRC" (Application Data folder containing mirc.ini and servers.ini, etc)Some troubles that people find themselves in ...Windows doesn't let normal user-level software perform any write operations to the C:\Program Files*\ folders. Only applications Run As Administrator can normally write and make changes to files under that path. This protects programs from virus infection.If you install mIRC as a Portable Install to your Program Files folder, then mIRC can't save or make changes to settings, servers, logs etc, since the path is write protected. So never use the Portable install option when installing to C:\Program Files*\.Portable Installs should be placed in a directory path like one of these:- "C:\mIRC"- "C:\Portable\mIRC"- "C:\Users\MadGoat\mIRC"- "E:\mIRC" (USB stick or portable harddisk)- "Z:\DropBox\mIRC" (Cloud storage)How to fix a bad situation ...Try and locate all of the mirc.ini files on your harddrive. Either navigate to the Program Files and Users AppData folders mentioned above, or use a search utility software.With mIRC running, you can type these two commands that should open both
