| Defrag page file with PageDefrag utility | | Print | |
aging PC, there are certain files that the built in Windows XP defrag utility cannot
access, since they are locked or accessed constantly by the operating system. These
files include the page file (the area of the hard disk reserved for use as 'virtual'
memory for use in addition to the system's physical memory), the event logs, the
SAM and security files which handle user authentication and passwords, and several
others.
Fortunately, there is a free third party utility available which can completely
defragment these important files as well, ensuring that your system is as restored as
possible. Sysinternal are the creators of a great many essential freeware programs
for all flavours of Windows, and their PageDefrag utility can reorganize these
troublesome files upon reboot.
First download and install the utility.
The window displays the list of reserved files, and how fragmented they have
become. Choose 'defragment at next boot' then press 'ok.' The next time you restart
your computer, PageDefrag will defragment the listed files.
