Need to defrag page files

[kodiaknamaste]

So, long story short, looking for an app, like SmartDefrag, which works really nice for a basic defrag app, and has nice scheduling options and all, but I really need to do a deep page file and system defrag, like at boot, so there are no programs running.....Diskkeeper is an option, but runs @ $50 for these kind of tools.

 

Anyone know of any options or suggestions?

Got just the thing

 

Hi Kodiak-I use this.It's an on demand utility,very light and quick.It doesn't address all of the boot files,but it's free!Now,here's a DYI found in your registry-check out this short "how to".

Hey detailer, glad to have got your attention, from trolling a bit here, your advice seems sound, mostly....here's more of the deal, not sure exactly whats up with my os, it is xp, sp3, the regular xp defragger when tits up, not sure why, but it's unresponsive to anything, just opens and sits there ignoring me, won't analyze any of my hd's.

 

Installed the basic diskkeeper v that comes with intel mobo's, it's a free basic v.....simply won't do much, as they want you to buy the retail full v's. the analysis say pretty badly fragmented page files, and analysis from both app's, DK and SD confirm it....my xp os is evidently not handling the situation.

 

Funny, defragged with SD and it seems to have done a fair job, at first, but then did an analysis after about an hour, and my hd is fragmented, has reverted somehow, not as bad as it was, but the operation SD performed didn't stick, so to speak....HUH? I'm not an IT, but I'm not completely in the dark as far as this os goes....baffled a bit.

 

Thanks, hey, Kodiak-

Defrag

 

Hi Kodiak-Are we talking a lot of frags?You can hit numbers in the high hundreds to low thousands after a day's play.Percentage wise,what are we talking about(.10%-.25%)? Did you run a report to see why internal defrag died?

Hi kodiaknamaste

Please read the whole post here http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?t=612

The (pagefile) (not so) is usually defragmented automatically every three day in the background.

Checking fragmentation levels with different defragmenters will always render different results, - they are using different parameters.

Sorry bad mistake!

Not page file: boot files, startup files and the prefetch files according to layout .ini

No....172, but I didn't really do anything...went online once....this isn't a biggie, still wondering why the page file....??

 

I've got errands to run, but I'll be back this evening and run a few things, and see if I can make a tracelog of whats going on...

Hi kodiaknamaste

I made a mistake in my earlier answer - I wrote pagefile but in reality it is boot files, startup files and the prefetch files according to layout .ini that are fixed every three days. Sorry for the bogus information!!

Please try the pagedefragger from Microsoft for defragging the pagefile.
