Msconfig - task monitor......and disk defrag

Hi,
I'm curious about something. I have read that task monitor helps disk defragmenter defrag the computer. I don't have task monitor running in msconfig. While thorough scandisk will take at least 3 l/2 hours to run, disk defrag only takes 12-15 minutes to run. Could that be why my defrag runs so fast? I have 30gb harddrive.
Also, I had task monitor running recently, but was unable to close it with control, alt. delete so I disabled it. I don't schedule any tasks. I perform them myself.
I guess what I'm asking is: is Task Monitor important to have running. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Thank you.

No, you can do without it.
With today's fast operating systems the difference is barely noticeable.

Uncheck it in Msconfig.
Subsequently, you can delete the hidden C:\Windows\Applog folder as well.

Cheers, Tony
