Adding I/O Prioritization Settings to MyDefrag?

[Digital Parasite]

Did you try to set Process Explorer to "Show all processes"  ?
I am used tu run it in this mode all the time.

Yes it is set to see all processes.  I can see the MyDefrag.exe process, it is not listing the IO or Memory priority for some reason when I run it as "Logged in or not" mode.  Here is a screen shot.

So there is definitely a difference in behavior between "run only when logged in" and with "logged in or not" mode.  For some reason you two can see the info while I cannot.

Yes, that was my problem (how embarrassing).  So that is the issue.  If you run while logged in, it runs at normal IO priority.  If you have it set to run "whether logged in or not", it runs at low IO priority.

So that is a good trick for people to use if they want to use low IO priority until the feature is available.  The only downside to using "whether logged in or not" is that you don't actually see the myDefrag GUI so it can't see the nice disk layout as it changes.

Thanks you two for your help and suggestions.
