Default Defrag


As you know, you cannot defragment your page file while Windows is running.

However, if you would like your page-file to be defragmented, then you can
download "page defrag" (pagedfrg.exe) by Sysinternals (a former division of
Microsoft).

A small, very easy to use application that writes an entry in the registry
to execute itself at the same point in the boot process where "chkdsk" runs
(when configured to) before the pagefile becomes "locked" by Windows
starting.

Just start the application while Windows is running and specify where the
pagefile is located, tick the "Run on every boot" check-box, and it will
automatically run next, and every time Windows starts-up.

Direct download link for Page Defrag :

When I defrag ny laptop (XP SP2), I notice two large green blocks. I
assumed that is the page file area. Is there any way to keep them
together instead of separate? There was just one before I increased
the page file size, so I guess instead of adding it to the same area ,
it created a new separate area.
