Then try optimizer again 🙂

Glad it work, don't know why, it was found accidentally by someone at some point, and passed on since. You would think there would be an actual command directed at setting the state, but so far noone has reported one.

The recovery partition shouldn't need optimization, unless you are participating in OS Recovery Competitions 😉

lol ok ok. It's just that i'm very anal about everything. All of my partitions except the recovery one is "optimized since date xx/xx/xxxx. They are all the same except that recovery partition drive that won't "optimize". Not a big deal. I appreciate your help as always.
