I wanted to use this for the background image on my Logon Screen, but that didn't fly for me, because I couldn't get the Windows 7 Logon Screen Background Changer to work in Windows 8. Not surprising, but still a disappointment.
However, the news isn't all bad - I've installed the Auslogics Disk Defrag from this website and it will defragment both partitions on the drive from its location on either partition.
Speaking of doing things across both partitions, I was reading the other day in one of those forums where folks cry tears the size of footballs about problems that are usually just not well enough researched, and this kid was saying that we can't move a file from one partition to another without first of all loading it onto a CD or DVD and then using that to install it into the other partition. So it gives me great pleasure today to say that's a total crock, Folks - you most certainly can access and transfer files between the two partitions using Windows 8's normal features. Just look in the left column on Windows Explorer, under the listing for Computer, and you'll see both of your partitions listed there. You can click to go into either one and locate files, and to move a file from one to the other, just use the right-click drop-down menu's Send To and choose the other partition as your destination. That puts the file in the list of that partition's contents, and from there, you can once again re-locate it to whatever folder you want to keep it in. And Thank You, Windows 8, for this handy feature! Like I said in a previous post, there's a whole lot more to this than just a pretty face!
