deedee2 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I must be missing a point. Why does one DeFrag a File or Files? What would be the situation or circumstance that would warrant Defragging a File by itself? I looked at the description and features of Defragula but I am missing something. Thank you for educating me in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Because if you defrag only the files you actually use, it is much faster and you don't have to each time defrag the whole drive. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'd recommend reading the Defraggler documentation for a better understanding: http://docs.piriform.com/defraggler There's this Wikipedia article about defragmentation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragmentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, great. BTW, by just looking at DeFraggler's Analysis, can one know which particular file or files need defragging? I ask this because there are PCs that I need to manage but I don't use, so I am not familiar with all the files the user uses. Than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you analyze drive click on View Files and it will show you a list of files that need defragging. Than either tick all of them or just highlight them all and than defrag all ticked or all highlighted. You can also click on the blocks once analyzed to learn more about what's going on with your drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2009 If defragmenting other peoples systems I'd personally only do a files-only defrag versus a full defrag. A files-only defrag will be done quickly versus a full defrag which could take a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
