Defrag your system with freeware
Sysinternals’ PageDefrag is one freeware programs that you must have on your usb drive.
PageDefrag lets you defragment immovable system files.
It won’t defrag while the system is actually running, but at the next reboot it will defrag the system.
The utility defragments the page file, the event logs, the Registry hives and the hibernation files, all of which normally cannot be defragmented.
When first run, PageDefrag generates a report that describes the location of those files, how many clusters they occupy and how many fragments they’re in. You’re then presented with three options:
- Defragment once at the next reboot,
- Defragment at each boot time with a countdown delay, or
- Disable defragmentation.
If you choose either of the first two options, defragmentation will occur at the next reboot before the Windows GUI loads, and the program will provide real-time feedback on its progress. PageDefrag can also be invoked from the command line or in a script; you don’t need to use the GUI to trigger it.

Thanks, this is a useful defrag tool, especially with some other expensive solutions out there…
