Thanks for the reply. I know I had installed it correctly on both occasions but on the first one had deliberately left out the integrate with explorer as I didn't think I'd ever need it. Then I bought Acronis and eventually discovered I had to uninstall and reinstall and select the option. However, once, when reading about Defraggler I came across something that said that I could move large files to the end of the drive from Explorer with a right-click. This was why I posted here. However I have since been unable to find anything relating to what I once read and even Defraggler pages do not mention a right-click move large files to end of drive option, This was why I updated the original post. I have doe a defrag and added .tib files to be moved to the end of the drive but it would have been great had I been able to do this on a per file bases as I make images pretty regularly. The remainder of my posts after the initial one were aimed at finding out why I couldn't use a right-click option - that is until I found out it was not actually a feature - when I updated the post for the last time (red text). I love the software but I really would like the right click option and do not want to do a full defrag every time I make a new image, perhaps one day it will be included in the software along with the ability to send entire folders to the end of the drive as well - I would gladly pay for that. I thank all the posters who helped with their advice here and for their patience.

I didn't use a portable version, I used the standard version. I put on the original post that I did do a complete un-install (cleaned registry and so forth) and reinstall as a final option. "I tried the only thing I didn't do before and that was to remove it and reinstall it. During the reinstall I left the 'Defraggler in Explorer' (or similar) option checked - then the right-click menu items were there - but I still had no option to move large files to the end of the drive, and this is the primary reason why I wanted it to work and wanted to use this software." It worked perfectly and as it should both times, with checking the 'integrate into explorer' and also leaving it unchecked during install. The only thing that this option does is to allow Defraggler to add right-click functionality if to integrate is checked. Saving settings to an ini file does disable this feature - even if selected to when installed, but that is not the issue. When I say I wanted to move large files to the end of the drive I did not mean during a defrag - that worked fine. I wanted to be able to move large files to the end of the drive by right clicking on them in Explorer and selecting that Defraggler move them. I read somewhere that with Defraggler one could right-click on a large file and move it to the end of the drive from within Explorer - obviously this was not true. I would like to add that I did install the software properly (with no messing around), as there is no other way to do it as the software will not let an installer mess around.

v2.18.954 (64bit) Standard version (installer) - from https://www.piriform.com/defraggler/builds

Please can you tell me what this Hosts File is, or does? I have Adblock in Firefox but have never done anythig with a hosts file. Is it OK to put it in my computer regardless what protection software (ESET), connection mothod Normal network or/and (SwissVPN), I have? Sorry to be so dumb buit I've never even heard of a hosts file and I don't want to have the problems like the subject of this post.

I know this was discussed in 2011 but I have tried to sort it out with no success. I run Windows 7 64bit. Love Defraggler and found it to work perfectly for me but I would love the ability to defrag a folder or move a large file to the end of the drive specifically with a right-click from Explorer. First I have tried to get it to work on both 32 and 64bit versions by doing the following:- 1. I went into the software and disabled save settings to .ini file (I set that up when I first installed it) 2. Deleted the .ini file from the Defraggler directory 3. Started the programme both with a right-click 'Run As Administrator' and from the Start Menu where I then set 'Run As Administrator' as a launch option in the shortcut Properties>Advanced setting. In all cases the option to Enable Shell Extension is greyed out. The only options I have checked in the Defraggler Advanced tab are now are the Cache Analyses and Use Custom Fragmentation (for which I have not changed default options). I've tried checking them all and the Enable Shell Extensions just does not become available. I tried the only thing I didn't do before and that was to remove it and reinstall it. During the reinstall I left the 'Defraggler in Explorer' (or similar) option checked - then the right-click menu items were there - but I still had no option to move large files to the end of the drive, and this is the primary reason why I wanted it to work and wanted to use this software. UPDATE: Seems like I read that this software would do that not too long ago, I am unable to find the page now but I am pretty sure that it cannot send large files to the end of a drive from within Explorer - this is a pity as I liked the software otherwise. I make regular Acronis images and would have loved this feature rather than having to run Defraggler to do a disk defrag every time I make a new image. Perhaps in the future this will be an included option along with sending entire folders to the end of the drive...I will keep checking and install again if it does.
