[Whats the best Defragmentation Software]

hi everyone,

when it comes to defrag, i always recommend diskeeper.

my computer consulting firm has about 600 clients. often we get called regarding "healthy" PCs that seems to run slow. after extensive research, we went with diskeeper.

besides all the other great feature, the makers of diskeeper actually created the defrag that comes with microsoft windows! so, the way i see it, they would know the best about how the windows operating system works and how best to defrag the files it contains!

[Defragmenting your Hard Drive(s)]

i use diskeeper 10 to defrag my drives.

it seems that lots of folks are unaware of how many different files on your hard drive get fragmented even if you don't use your pc so much.

Here's a list i found...some of these are for corporate users only, but most are for home users as well:

1. User Profiles

2. System maintenance and logging files

3. Advanced system features, including:

System Restore

Prefetching

PC Health

Registry

Internet browsing

4. System updates/upgrades:

Service packs

Hot fixes

5. Application updates/upgrades including:

Anti-virus definition files

Network management software (e.g., SMS)

6. Systems/applications never defragmented or

recently updated may have fragmented executables

7. Print spools

8. Paging file

9. Hibernation file

10. Metadata (MFT, et al.)

11. Directories
