Hi there!!! Can someone tell about some good defragmanter??? I was told that microsoft defragmenter is not that good, so I decided to have some better tools on my pc

My opinion, I would suggest using Microsofts utilities.....never looked for any other program to use

Here's good Derfrag app...but it's not free,there is a trial version to try out though!!

*EDIT
Like Geekgirl...I only use the MS Defrag...works good for me!

I use O&O defrag & find it very good, the main feature I use is the fire & forget option. It basically runs automatically whenever it detects that your disk is getting fragmented

Do any of these programs remove the Windows pagefile (swapfile) before defragmenting?

Firstly, defragmenting junk/temp files like Temporary Internet Files (often about 500 MB), index.dat files, etc. is a waste of time, and your disk should be cleaned up before disk defrag?

Secondly these files prevent other files to be defragmented optimally. So unless these prgrams offer this feature I feel it wouldn't be worth the effort.
