Default How To Use Sysinternals Contig.exe

Hi;

I would like to defrag the following file
"C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot2\tmp.edb" with Sysinternals Contig v1.55.

I extracted the file Contig.exe from the Sysinternals Suite to my Desktop,
but when I click on it the Command Prompt screen briefly appears and then is
gone.

How can I use this application to defrag the file listed above? Please
give me specific instructions.

Thanks,

ColTom2

You need to perform the first debugging step yourself, by making all
messages visible:
1. Click Start
2. Type the three letters cmd
3. Click OK
4. Type the command you wish to execute, e.g.
desktop\contig.exe
5. Read the message(s) you see.

I cannot get your instructions to work from the CMD Prompt.

Thanks, as your instructions worked! But the file still cannot be defragged
for some reason.

Are you ready ?. Then we`ll begin.
Start / Run , and type in CMD
Now you are in the Command window.
Open SI Contig, by highlighting, and drag it into the
command window.
Then add the full path to you file...
C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot2\tmp.edb
Leave a space between the two items.

Perhaps start in Safe Mode and just delete it.

It seems that you cannot do anything with this file
"C:\Windows\System32\CatRoot2\tmp.edb". You cannot delete, copy, transfer,
defrag, or anything else. It's like a "stealth" file and the only Windows
file that I have ever seen like this.

Very unique file to say the least.....
