Problem

When I run defrag in command prompt is there any way to gracefully stop the process before it finishes? Does killing the task in TM cause any problems if it is in the middle of moving a file? Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Fix for: Gracefully kill defrag.exe when run in command prompt

Low Risk

Control C to cancel it. I don't expect the Task manager to do any harm, since it first asks the program to close before it brute forces it.
