How To Defragment Your Computer in 10 minutes

The two programs that we have talked about work together to defrag your computer.
Click on the following programs to download them:
contig.exe
Power Defragmenter

Once you have finished downloading these files, make sure they are both in the same directory or folder.



No installation is required. The next step is to run Power Defragmenter. Click next, and you will arrive at the screen below:



You may then select from the following options:

Defragment File(s): Allows you to defragment up to 4 files
Defragment Folder(s): Allows you to defragment up to 4 folders
Defragment Disk: Allows you to defragment a disk
PowerMode(TM) Disk Defragmentation: Defragments at a power equivalent to two consecutive defragmentations. Time does not necessarily double.

After you click next, just choose the desired drive, and you’re good to go.
When you are finished, the command prompt window will read “Windows Disk Defragmenter…”

Update: This is the only down-side to contig. It does not really tell you how well the fragmentation process went but as you could see from the visuals above, it is quite effective. If you wait 3-5 minutes before closing the window after the process is finished, the following statistics will be displayed:
- Hard Drive Space
- Free Space
- Largest free space extent
- Percent File Fragmentation
