Unknown File Types Listed

Hello all!

With the exception of $Bad, as I found and read the other post that explains that.

What are the other 3 "files"? Why do thier "fragments" not get moved or fixed and if they dont "matter", why do they show up on Defragglers visual representation of a HD?

There may be more $files than thoes three, that was just the best example for a screen shot.

Ever since I found CCleaner years back, I have been a fan of Piriform products. Im looking fwd to the sys info program when its out of beta.

Excellent programs!

Hey! :)

No one at all knows any of the other "$files?? No Piriform techs around?

Thoes "files" are still around despite defrags and such.

I still havent found (understandable) information about them.

Thanks again!

P.R.

NTFS metadata. You can't defrag them using a normal defrag - you'll have to use some trial version of a commercial defragmenter which can defrag at boot time, e.g. PerfectDisk.

Hello!

Ah, that stuff is "metadata" eh?

Looking up that term reveled a boon of information.

I get it now. :)

Thanks!
