The Don

Hi, Today after I analyzed adnd defragged files on completion I got a message saying not all files were defragged. When I highlighted those 3 files that could not be defragged I attempted to defrag them again and still no luck. The 3 files that can't be defragged are: 1. avgcfg.log 2. avgcore.log 3. avgns.log Since these files are part of AVG 8.0 I tried disabling the antivirus and see if I could defrag the 3 files than but still not defraggin them. This is with the latest version of Defraggler. Any idea why thanks in advance.

Thanks Keith, I thought it was that simple after looking inside the file winapp2 but since I never did this before I thought I would get a confirmation. Better safe than sorry.

Today I installed the winapp2 zip file. After opening CCleaner and checking the application list for the * programs available I noticed 3 items in the list that I already had with program instalation. The 3 programs are: 1. MS Office Picture Manager and * MS Office Picture Manager. 2. Imgburn and * Imgburn. 3. Adobe Flash Player and * Adobe Flash Player. Since all 3 programs with * already come wiht CCleaner instalation is there a way to modify the winapp2 file to remove the extra * programs from shoing on CCleaner when opened.

Hi Bassmanadam, I think you miss read my reply. I was stating that I did install the Net Framework 3.5 too but that Defraggler 1.06 still works normal for me. I also wanted to let you know that it works on my system being a XP SP3 and just was asking if your system was maybe a Vista. Sorry if my comment was not well explained for you.

I installed the Net Framework 3.5 too and Defraggler 1.06 still works. I have Windows XP SP3. Do you have Vista perhaps? Is anyone else having this problem after installing Net Framework 3.5?

Here is a suggestion for Vista users for a more efficient and speedy defragging with Defraggler: First I would only suggest this to users of Defraggler who backup there registry with ERUNT or have a stable running computer so that they can disable and re-enable system restore since this will help. 1. If you are sure your computer has been running ok for several days disable system restore. 2. Defrag empty space (allow fragments) 3. Than analyze your drive and defrag the files that need to be defragged since defragging empty space (allow fragments) will creat some files to be fragmented. 4. Now go back and re-enable system restore and make a new restore point. Note: This may still take some time but since system restore is disabled it will not shrink your free space and will not take as long. But keep in mind this will still take some time for the first time but since you don't need to defrag your full drive all the times you can just defrag files after analyzing your drive like in step 3. This will be fast since only files that are needed to be defragged will be defragged and will also keep your system performance in shape.

I usually defrag only files daily to keep my drive performance good. At times only when my drive has alot of free space in between blue blocks I defrag free space (allow fragments) and than just defrag the files that need to be defragged. I don't defrag the whole drive again. It is not needed.

I too find Defraggler 1.6.0.118 with Windows XP SP3 uses more CPU resources.

I think it would be worth trying this: ... After you defrag free space allowing defragmentation you should analyze drive and than go to View Files and check them all and than right click and defrag all checked files. It should fix the problem.

I think it's a Vista issue. Seen others complain about this who have Vista. I can't be sure though since I use XP.

Hi DeeDee2 Yes you can find out which files need defragging. After you analyze drive click on View Files and it will show you a list of files that need defragging. Than either tick all of them or just highlight them all and than defrag all ticked or all highlighted. You can also click on the blocks once analyzed to learn more about what's going on with your drive.

I want to clearify my statement - The defraggler analyzing works fine same as usual but while in interactive mode where I can click a block to get more info on is where the computer does not seem stable (jitterey) I have tried the option in settings to background in Priority and it seems a little better however when I close defraggler and than reopen the option background is set back to normal priority. It does not stay to the option I choose.

Hey Davey, I thought you might be interested in knowing that today after installing a windows update (Microsoft Outlook 2007 junk filter) I noticed the pageDefrag had 3 items with 2 fragments. The 3 items with 2 fragments were: 1. C\Windows\System 32\Config\Default 2. C\Windows\System 32\Config\Software 3. C\Windows\System 32\Config\System So I guess Dfefraggler is able to defrag page files.or at least soemtimes.

I like the new documentation however I noticed some info missing for Defraggler. There is no description on Defrag freespace and Defrag Freespace (allow defragment) in the Advanced menu via the the General tab.

Today for the first time I decided to use defraggler for optimazation by putting all large files larger than 50 MB at end of disk since I have alot of movie files. So doing so the large files successfully were put at end of disk though after the job was finished I had alot of free space in between blocks so I than had to defrag all free space and than defrag files after analyzing drive. Is this normal to have to do all these steps.

Today I installed the new version of Defraggler and it looks great but after trying it by analyzing drive and during I was looking at the map drive the computer is jittery like it is taking more cpu. Never noticed this before with older versions. Any idea or does the new version take more cpu process. I have 2 GB of RAM with duo 2 core and 2.3 GHZ process.

Hi Davey, Your suggestion about using defraggler prior to CCleaner makes sense to me. The reason I say this because I have always known that defragmenting is good to do before installing large softwares so that things cann run smoother and than it is also a good idea to do it after all instalations. So I usually do defrag only files before CCleaner and after if I have deleted a large amount of data. I also do a full defragment once in a while or sometimes just defrag free space when I have done alot of deleting and installing. My only question though is if I defrag all files why would I need to defrag only folders? Isn't files from folders too?

Hi Katie, Welcome to the forums, when sending files to recycle bin with CCleaner they are just being deleted not shredded.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Free Registry Defrag and Ntregopt and if both are used for same purposes which one is best. Thanks in advance.

Hey Davey you say that you use Defraggler, Windows Disk Defragmenter and JkDefrag is there a purpose for each one you use. I know that you use Defraggler like I do by analyzing disk and than just defragging files that need it by right clicking. However I heard alot of good things about JKDefrag but according to you is there a reason why you use this too for any other purpose other than Defraggler. In other words are you using these 3 programs for different purposes. i hope I made myself clear.

Hi Les From looking at your startup I can see alot of programs that are not needed at startup because they are not needed at all time and if you do need it just go to the program and launch it. However you should keep always on startup programs such as Windows Defender, Antivirus, Antispyware, and Firewalls. As for the rest of the programs I can not give you a simple answer since it would be up to you if you wish to have the program started when computer boots. However I understand you by when you say you don't know what some of these programs mean so the best way to make a decision is to go to a site like http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php and do a search and make your own decision whether to keep on startup or not If you can't find some on that web site there is many others just google it and get answers. I also leave auto updating programs disabled except for Antiviruuses, Antispywares, and Firewall and most important I disable Windows Autoupdate I set the option to warn me if I want to install updates. Remember whenever you disable a program from startup you can always go and enable it back.

Well at least if we don't learn anything from this forum we can get some entertainment. What a laugh I got from that youtube video.

Well I guess until we don't have the help documents and fully understand how Defraggler works I will be using it only for defragging files and folders with a right mouse click after analyzing drive. This for me is safe, quick, and know that works fine.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is good to check the option in the settings of the latest version of Defraggler to move large files to end of disk. Also if I were to choose this option will this only take affect when defragging the whole drive. Thanks in advance.

Hi Davey, The file that changed was: C:\\Windows\System32\Config\Software This occurred after installing Window Updates and it was the only time I found fragments with Sysinternals.
