In the pursuit for performance, making sure your drive isn’t fragmented is a regular task.
The problem is that Windows XP doesn’t allow certain system files to be defragmented without commercial software.
What about free solutions?
It runs as a boot-time process that defragments the system files before they are locked by XP.
Thanks to Reader Shawn for suggesting this as a topic.
If you didn’t abort the defrag, you’ll now see the defragment in process.
As you might see, mine didn’t need to be defragmented anyway…
This should be an essential utility in any geek’s toolkit.
Note that this isn’t a substitute for defragmenting your other files on a regular basis.
