Being a good Windows user, you defrag your harddrive one in a while. Windows itself comes with its own defrag tool, which is OK, unless your disk is really mess up. I once have a drive that was, as reported by Windows Defrag, >40% defrag. To make it worse, the drive was nearly full. Windows Defrag asked my to free up some space so it can work. I didn't want to delete any files so I searched around and found JKDefrag.
JKDefrag can not only work on tight space, but it also offers a few defrag optimizing methods which could speed the drive up even more. To enable those optimizer, you will have to run JKDefrag from a command line
JkDefrag.exe -a 7 c:
The "-a 7" thing simply tells JKDefrag I want to enable defrag optimizer number 7. Here are some optimizing methods that you can use:
1 = Analyze, do not defragment and do not optimize.
2 = Defragment only, do not optimize.
3 = Defragment and fast optimize [recommended].
5 = Force together.
6 = Move to end of disk.
7 = Optimize by sorting all files by name (folder + filename).
8 = Optimize by sorting all files by size (smallest first).
9 = Optimize by sorting all files by last access (newest first).
10 = Optimize by sorting all files by last change (oldest first).
11 = Optimize by sorting all files by creation time (oldest first).
If you drive is like mine (low space, heavily fragmented), it could take a very long time to defrag it the first time, but it worth it. It will be a lot faster next time you run a program. You can also run JKDefrag as your screen-saver so it will start rearrange your files when your computer is idle.
