Guest Ramesh Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: Unmovable files in Drive C Detlev, I did try the Pagedefrg but nothing happens in that. I executed the program, selected Defrag on next boot, rebooted the system. System booted as usual and nothing more happened. Wonder if i missed something. I saw some command lines on the website, but there are no instructions on where to give those commands.

Well, that program shows the fragments of particular system files when starting. If there are files with more than 1 fragment and when selecting "Defrag at next reboot", a blue colored screen should appear right after reboot while the program defrags these files prior to starting the GUI. -- d-d
