In 1549 start-up logging turned on, and can't be disabled in any way. |

Just delete the "Startup.bak" file, this is the backup. If you are not seeing any current problems then you can just delete both of them.
I am not sure why it should be so heavily fragmented though. The fact it is in the same directory tree as VA's symbol databases might be a factor, if the file system is placing these files close together.
That seems a lot of fragments for a file that small. Is your drive heavily fragmented, or low on free space? |

CONTIG utility from Microsoft says:
C:\\...\\Application Data\\Visual Assist\\Startup.bak is in 898 fragments |

This file is about 10 megabytes and have very high fragmentation. |

True. This is done to handle the very rare cases where something crashes when you start the IDE, so we get some information without having to ask people to run regedit and start setting registry flags.
The file should be quite small, and this has basically no meaningful on performance, so I would recommend just ignoring this file  |

Yep. This option is off, but VAX still creates startup.log at every launch of the Visual Studio. |

Are you talking about the option:
VA Options -> Performance -> General -> Enable logging
or something else? This option is turned off when you restart the IDE. |
