What is the df64.exe? It just opens a cmd prompt, txt goes by and it closes. Does it serve a purpose?
It's a console app version of Defraggler, you must run it from the DOS Prompt by running cmd.exe first.

Can you explain more? So does it have no effect if you were to just double click the icon? It has to be executed through the command prompt for it to work? What console are you talking about?
There are two different versions of Defraggler in it's folder.
The GUI version, "defraggler.exe" which opens the normal User Interface on double clicking, and the "command line" version, "df.exe" which can be launched from scripts. Explained here ...

In your case of course, the 64bit versions of the above.
Console applications are text based and depending on their design may not have an interactive element.
If you double click on df64.exe it will run and quit because it's not been told to do anything.
This is why you need the DOS Prompt (cmd.exe) this allows you to interact with console applications.
