Another computer question.
 

Looking for a good Disk Defragment program.
Any suggestions?

the one that windows comes with, is no good?

I agree. Thats why i am looking for a better one.

Diskkeeper is the best, and a crippled version is included with XP.

You can schedule it to run with the built in scheduler in windows. Execute the DEFRAG.EXE program, run it in a cmd window with /? to get the options.

Perfect Disk 2008 has the best alogrithm for arranging files on disk and does its job well, specially the offline boot time defrag that does an excellent job with system files, MFT etc. For free there is the well rated JK Defrag but it doesn't do offline defrag.

Sorry but i don't understand[doesn't do offline defrag]

The full Diskkeeper and Perfect Disk have an option to defrag at boot time, Before Windows starts.
This can do a better job of defragging, particularly for the paging file and MFT.

Personally for desktops defragging isn't a major thing, the manual Diskkeepr included with XP, run periodically (or semi automatically per my earlier post) will do a good enough job.

Back in the days when drives were small and space tight, they had a reasonable benefit. As drives have gotten very large, it becomes less important.

NTFS does a fair job or minimizing the need for defragging also, not perfect, but fair.

Per that comment, you should be running NTFS on all Windows systems.

I forgot which one I was using back in my Windows days, but it seemed to work good... I know it was free program I got off of Cnet.

Thanks for all of your input.
