While it was true that defragmenting helped older PCs, it no longer
applies. Today we have 7200-RPM (rotations per minute) hard-disk drives
with improved seek and latency times; many also contain an 8-MB cache
buffer. Let's not forget Windows XP's ultra-efficient NTFS (NT File
System). For PCs, servers, and workstations equipped with these
innovations, defragmenting no longer makes much improvement, if any, to
system performance.

Complete defrag.
Turn off Pagefile, reboot & go into Safe Mode & defrag.
Reboot & turn Pagefile back on

Hi Mario,

Fix the "DefragPath" value in this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\DefragPath

Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT.
Navigate to the above location:
In the right-pane, double-click (default) and set its data as:

%systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc %c:
(if REG_EXPAND_SZ)

C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc %c:
(if REG_SZ)

Alternately, reinstalling Defrag using the INF file should fix the above
value automatically. The following was recently posted by Bert Kinney,
MS-MVP:

quote

Open Control Panel - Folder Options - View tab, select "Show hidden files
and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", click OK.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the windows\inf folder. Find the
dfrg.inf file, right click on it and select Install. You may be asked for
the XP CD.

Yes but it is so satisfying somehow to watch those little blue lines line up
to make a solid rectangle.
