Best Windows xp defragger freeware?

[William W. Hines]

Can someone inform me or give their opinions please?

The one that comes with XP is so slow.

Keep and use the one that comes with Windows XP. You need not run it often.

Run Disk CleanUp before running Disk Defragmenter.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

Hope this helps.

shouldn't be slow.

perhaps you either
don't have enough disk
space to run it. however
it would warn you.

or perhaps you virtual
memory is too small.

or perhaps you have too
many programs running
in memory and overloading
your cpu.

----------------

try running the windows
defrag via safemode.

if it works faster, then this
is a clue that you likely need
to analyze your normal mode
windows and see what is
bogging your system down.

Thanks everyone! I realize that my question was probable a real dumb on. I
didn't know when I asked it the there are virtually no good free defrag
tools.

I did find a free version of the O&M Defrag Tool. It works better than my
native one and is considerably faster.

I'm running Windows XP with a 120 GB hard drive and I have 512 GB Ram.

I don't think about that defrag would be more efficient if it is preceded by
the Disk Clean-up Tool.

Thanks everyone! Cheers!

Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free download at
http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download.

This program seems to run faster than the WindowsXP version.

As one poster has indicated you shouldn't have to defrag very often. Run
defrag when you are taking a break from your other computer activities.
