Defragging Windows Vista (Part 3)

May 14, 2008 2:53 pm editor Information

To actually defrag a certain drive, type:

defrag c: -v -r

This option will also give you a detailed report and will defrag all files that are less than 64 MB in size. If you would like to force Vista to attempt to defrag ALL files no matter the size of the fragments, type:

defrag c: -v -w

Again, you will receive a detailed report and with the “-w” this will tell Vista to attempt to consolidate all files wherever possible.

In all cases, you will not receive a report of fragmented files of 64 MB or greater. Also, you still will not receive a progress bar during the defragmentation process. You at least now have greater flexibility over how Windows Vista is defragging your system files.
