Defragmenter

I was looking for a recommendation for a defragmenter and have read the threads on this forum with user's suggestions.

I was searching for a defragmenter whose uninstall process was clean. I had diskeeper light on one pc and it was a pig to remove. I subsequently discovered many such threads as regards the uninstall on that prog. I too could not correct the issue and eventually had to restore an older image I had saved of that volume.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

 

MyDefrag is the updated version of jkdefrag.

I use this at work quite a bit. Has a very nice command line interface for automation.

 

Cheers I will download and have a look

 

My favorite is the UltimateDefrag Free Domain version.

 

Hmm, no mention of IObit's Smart Defrag?

 

There is now.:-D

 

Is there a defrag for dummies that I could use?

I don't remember the last time I did one, probably over a year ago. I've got basic computer habits, e-mail, surfing, the odd downloading.

Thank You
Sorry for hijacking your thread r_r .

 

Oooops! you would probably like usafveteran's mention of: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5318

 

Uh, yes it does. Graphical User Interface. It is meant to be used simply, with very little options.

No gui, would mean command line only.

Between jkdefrag and mydefrag, there are user interaction......

 

to Oooops
You would be amazed at how much faster your machine could be after a good defrag.
Best thing is to find one and use it exclusively.They all seem to have different ways of sorting, so different ones will constantly say you have a high fragmentation rate. It would be, by its standards,but not by the one that arranged them first.

 

Hi! I gave JkDefrag GUI a try.

Had some difficulties unzipping... but I eventually got it running, lol.

The defragging took about an hour last night. Excited to watch and see if speed improves, wasn't lacking much really. I appreciate the explaination about how different defraggers sort in their own way, that always had me confuzzled and frustrated when I tried something that I had hoped would be suitable to my lack of skills, lol.

Thanks so much guys!
:wave

 

Edited to say: Wow, I guess my computer was lagging before! lol I do notice a difference! lol
Thanks again!
