Defraggler a defragmentation software

The makers of CCleaner and Recuva have created a new software called Defraggler which is a defragmentation software for Microsoft Windows 2000 up to Windows Vista. Defraggler introduces some new features that most – if not all – other defragmentation softwares are missing.

It is for instance possible to get a visual analysis of the fragmentation level of a folder or file. While it is nice to know it would not make much sense if the software would not take advantage of this feature. Defraggler makes it possible to just defrag a folder or file instead of defragmenting the complete drive.

This is of course considerably faster than defragmenting the whole hard drive and useful if you want to work with a certain application. As far as I can tell it is not faster or slower than any of the other defragmentation tools out there but as I said, the new feature makes it stick out from the rest.

    WinContig is a good alternative – a free standalone executable that can defrag individual files or folders. You can also load groups of files into profiles for future use.

    it works quite well.

    Great Work,Martin!

    Is it automatic? I like automatic defraggers since there is no need to run the defragmenter manually or to set a schedule – the defragger handles everything transparently and without bothering me. It’s easier and more efficient than the old way of doing things.

    Automatic? I think the Freeware “IObit SmartDefrag” can do this.

    BTW: The portable Utility http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag
    can this also – manually – when You place the JKdefrag.exe in Your “Send To” Folder
    and select any File or Folder and “Sendto” -> JKdefrag. ;)
