Defragmenters - Batch / Command Line
I know that Windows takes care ofFragmentation
on its own, but that isNOT
what this thread is about.
I have aBatch
Script that I wrote a few of years ago that cleans my computer. I always run it on a Friday and occasionally at other times when I feel the need to and it works great.
Part of the Script runs the Windows built-inDefragmenter
on specific disks and partitions with my preferred switches and parameters which works great, but can take a while to run. This runs at the end of the Script after everything else has been cleaned etc for obvious reasons and just before the run ofchkdsk %SystemDrive%
.
Over the years, I have tried MANY defragmenters, all of which have basically the same principle and results, but with their own interpretation and variants.
I am thinking of maybe moving away from the Windows built-inDefragmenter
and using something else. It MUST however, have theBatch / Command Line
ability to run [ Open, Run, Close, etc ] and preferably bePortable
.
I have investigated what is currently available . . .

My question is, does anyone use an alternative to the Windows built-inDefragmenter
viaBatch / Command Line
, and if so, what is it and what do you think of it ?
Thanks in advance.
