janger Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 After seeing a few people recommending PerfectDisk as a good defragmenter, I've decided to give it a go. But can someone explain how a non-admin user can use it to defragment the system ntfs partition? Isn't this a bit of a security risk. If not how is it done?
redxii Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 PerfectDisk 8 will allow a non-admin user to defrag without using Run As. They said that non-admin users run PD in Standalone mode, yet it runs in Networked which is what admins get when they launch it.The way I see it the driver it installs allows this to be possible.. even a non-admin user can launch the PDEngine service from a stopped state, and it runs as SYSTEM. I'm not sure if there are any security risks, but i've expressed how I don't like the behavior. I'm sticking to v7.
