Windows Disk Defragment Program
Windows Disk Defragmenter is defragmentation software developed by Diskeeper Corporation/ Microsoft. It is a computer defrag program designed to improve speed and disk performance. Fragmentation usually decreases computer speed and performance. And Windows Disk Defragmenter is the apt solution for this problem. It also increases the usable space some times by rearranging the stored files and placing them contiguously in the hard disk.
Today people keep on adding the common files as music, video, games and graphics which even a best file system is not able to keep contiguous. The fragmented file takes much time to read and access as these are stored in fragments at far off places in the disk. Windows Disk Defragmenter helps in optimizing the time and minimizing the travel time and maximizing the transfer rate. Windows Disk Defragmenter applies to Microsoft Windows Xp Home Edition, Microsoft Windows Xp Professional, Microsoft Windows Xp Media Center Edition and Microsoft Windows Xp Tablet PC Edition.
Working on Windows Disk Defragmenter:
Defragging is the process of taking all the fragmented files and placing them at a single contiguous location on the hard disk. Contig is specially designed to defragment the individual files. It does not attempt to move the various files to the beginning of the partition. It is ideal for defragmentating the files that are often changed and get fragmented quickly. Contig is able to defragment these files in particular rather than the entire partition of the drive.
Most of the NT disk defraggers in the market are useful in performing the regular defragmentation of the disks but some files still may be left fragmented. Moreover it is difficult to ensure that the particular files which are frequently used are defragmented always. It is possible that these may remain fragmented due to specific defragmentation algorithms being used. Also if all the files are defragmented, a few get fragmented quickly due to inevitable changes done to the critical files. Most of the defrag softwares in the market have the only option to run the whole process all over again to make those files defragmented again. But Contig is the only single file defragger in the market which enables you to defrag the individual file quickly without running the whole program again.
Contig first scans the disk and determines the free space as well as location and size of those tracks. Then it locates the file to be defragmented. It evaluates the number of fragments the file currently consists of and then decides its optimization depending on the file size and the free areas available on the hard disk. And lastly if the file can be optimized it is then moved to the free spaces of the disk.
Features of Windows Disk Defragmenting:
- Windows Disk Defragmenter has the option of Task Scheduler that enables you to automatically run at scheduled times.
- It uses low CPU priority.
- Windows Disk Defragmenter also has low priority I/O algorithm to continue defragging using reduced resources.
- It can also defrag the files when the computer is in use.
- Windows Disk Defragmenter has simplified user interface with no colour graph and progress indicator.
- The latest versions also enable you to select the drives you want to be defragmented.
Windows Disk Defragmenter is based on the Executive Software Diskeeper. Once you install it you need not worry about defragmentation of your hard disk there after. It does it all without hampering the speed and interfering your work. So, just go for it and defrag your system quickly and effectively.
