The Don Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would like if someone can tell me if using Defraggler with PageDefrag from Sysinternals are both required. The reason I ask this whenever I launch the PageDefrag it always shows fragments at 1 but today for the first time I noticed one item being at 2 fragments. So before using it I defragged with Defraggler and than returned to PageDefrag and noticed that the same item that was at 2 fragments was than at 1 fragment. So does this mean PageDefrag from Sysinternals is not required since I use Defraggler? Anyone can clerify this for me. Much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

PageDefrag does many system files that are not available when Windows is running. Your report is interesting. I hope the Devs respond. Which file was the file that changed after running Defraggler ? When did this occur ? davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
