If you’re like most people, your hard drive is crammed with files that just take up space and slow down your computer. Defraggler can help you free up space and speed up your computer. To use Defraggler, open the program and click “Start.” You’ll see a list of your hard drives. Select the drive you want to defragment and click “Start.” Defraggler will start scanning your hard drive for unnecessary files. It will also try to optimize the size of your files so they take up less space on your hard drive. When it’s done, Defraggler will give you a report showing how much space was freed up and how much speed was improved. ..


Installation is quick and easy following the installation wizard.  You will be up and ready to roll in a few seconds.

When first starting up Defraggler you get an overview of the different drives on your computer.  Before starting a defrag session you can click on the Analyze button and see the amount of fragmented space.

Under Help there is a legend so you can identify what the colored blocks represent.

The graphical display allows you to click on each fragmented section and see how many files are in that block.

Click on the Defrag button to start the defragmenting process.  There is a graphical display to view the progress of the session.

Click on the File List tab to see exactly which files are fragmented.  You can then select the specific files you want to defrag rather the entire drive.

In the Options section you can schedule when you want Defraggler to run.

 

There is the ability to skip files and folders as well.  This is handy for skipping large multimedia files that can take up a lot of time.

Defraggler is developed by Piriform, the company that has brought us the trusted utilities Recuva and CCleaner.  It will work with all versions of Windows from 2000 through Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit versions).  If you are looking for a free utility to defrag your hard drive and want more options than the native Windows utility, Defraggler is worth a look.
