Add an option that will allow the (reservation/allocation) of the NTFS Reserved Area optional.

I have not figured out why, but it sometimes appears and sometimes it does not, but I would like the option to NOT have the MyDefrag application (reserve/allocate) space for the NTFS Reserved Area when defragging a partition.
I noticed this when trying to redistribute free space.

Example:
I tried defragging D: but the reserved area was allocated.
I defraged C: (w/o reserved area allocated) then defragged D: (w/o reserved area allocated)
Since there is apparently some kind of logic that enables NTFS Reserved Area allocation(however flawed), I would like the option to dis-able it as needed.
Thanks, Tracey

MyDefrag does not reserve/allocate the NTFS reserved area, this is done by Windows itself when the computer boots up. MyDefrag uses a trick to influence what Windows does, but the trick does not always work. For more information see PlaceNtfsSystemFiles.
