Can I get statistics about the Fragmentation of a drive on Windows Vista? The Defrag utility only allows me to defrag and adjust the schedule, but I'm missing the statistics that older Windows Versions had...

You could use auslogics, it's free, gives you the stats and I find it does a better job that windows defrag.

Just found it here. It's required to use the defrag.exe command line tool with Admin permissions.
C:\Windows\system32>defrag -a -v f:

Not exactly what I was looking for, but still upvoting and accepting because it has the one function I really want: The ability to defrag a single folder, and it's free - Nice! – Michael Stum – 2009-07-19T00:02:10.810
