Defragmenting the swap file and Registry

To accelerate your computer, regularly defragment the contents of the system hard disk. However, during the defragment process, important elements such as the swap file are skipped, resulting in the slowing down of the computer.
Windows and the current defragmenters cannot access the files which have been exclusively opened by the system. Therefore, the registry data and the swap file are usually ignored during the optimization. However, these files are used frequently and they take up a large amount of space. Therefore, their fragmenting slows down the system significantly. But then again, there are specialists to solve every problem!!! The tool “Pagedefrag” uses the start phase of the PCs to defragment the registry and sway file. During the start phase, Windows can access them.
After unpacking the zip archive, the tool can be readied for use by just calling “pagedefrag.exe” without any further installation processes. It first shows how many clusters occupy the respective system files and how “fragmented” they are. Besides the swap file, and the branches of the Registry, the tool also processes event protocols as well as the stand-by mode file. Its size corresponds to the quantity of the installed main memory.
APPLICATION: For one time execution, select the option “Defragment at next boot” and click on “OK”. Then, restart the computer. While booting, the tool completes its task and creates a status report. You can check the progress by calling Pagedefrag in Windows again and checking the actual status in the Pagedefrag dialog box. This kind of defragmentation must be repeated from time to time. You will be rewarded with remarkably shorter booting and shut down times for your computer.
AUTOMATION: To automate the process, select the option “Defrag abort countdown” to “0”, and confirm with “OK”. In future, “pagedefrag” checks the status every time the system starts and then optimizes the files if required. The check takes just under a second.
If you do not wish to run the check on every boot, you can also automate the execution with the Task Planner. Use command “pagedefrag –o –t 0” in the command prompt for that. It is used for one-time defragmentation on booting the next time.
