Cannot run "Contig" (defrag tool) as Admin on Vista Neil Jones <castellan2004-nschap[ at ]remove-this.yahoo.com> 12/27/2008 11:49:00 AM I have a Vista Ultimate on my system. I want to defrag some specific directories/files, so I have downloaded "Contig" (sysinternals toolset) from the Microsoft site. When I try to run this tool as normal user I got "Access Denied" message. I have logged in as the System Administrator and got the same "Access Denied" message. How can I run the "Contig" tool on Vista? What are the proper settings? Thank you in advance. NJ

What specifically are you trying to defrag? Norman -- If people concentrated on the really important things of life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. Doug Larson
