    It can defragment the file system cache (xp virtual memory) to be placed at the beginning of the disk for faster access? Which program can do it?
    Thanks for the tip and any advice

    Defraggler: under Settings, select Boot Time Defrag and select run once to defrag pagefile before windows loads.

    Other defraggers probably have this option. If you post what program you use, we can probably find the setting.

    Just checked the defragger I use, Puran and there is a button for Boot time defrag which would defrag the pagefile.

    I don't know if there is any defrag program that can still do that. Years ago there were several that could do that, but no longer (that I know of). I guess there were too many problems resulting from users deciding where to place system files.

    Ultimate Defrag by Disktrix comes to mind when it comes to allowing you to place files where you want them on the drive. It isn't free but there is a "Fully Featured" 30 day trial.
