Hello all!

I can?t defrag my pagefile.sys file in Windows Vista 64 bits edition.

I didn?t found anything in Google. Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks!

You can not defrag pagefile.sys while windows is running. It is a system file that is in use.

Since the release of Windows Vista and windows 7 the ability to defrag the pagefile is not possible.

So it?s better to delete all pagefile.sys from Computer Properties, restart PC and then create it again?

I did it once but pagefile.sys was still in my HD.

How can I do to fix it?

Thanks!

To defrag pagfile.sys you have to use a program that will defrag at startup before everything loads, which Defraggler can't do at this point. I wouldn't delete it unless you're totally desperate for hard drive space. The simplest thing to do is set it to a fixed size and forget it. Instructions on how to do that are here.
