Windows XP Tech Tip #16 >> Defragment System Files

The standard defragmentation tool of XP does not support defragmenting system files, e.g. the registry hive, page files (virtual RAM), etc.

Here's a tool that helps to do so, and does so during system start-up.

The process is quite fast and you'll see the results immediately upon reboot, especially if you are one who encounters slow start-up (on logon) and slow shutdown times.

How to install

1. Download the tool from this link.
2. Extract and run pagedfrg.exe.
3. Configure as you see fit, but I recommend the following settings:
4. Restart.

That's it! ^__^
