    What is the best FREE Defragger?


    Forever I've been using a combo of defraggler, and smartdefrag. I think Defraggler does a good job, but it is seriously lacking in its inability to shut down after a completed defrag..

    What is everyone personal favorite one? I really want some concrete answers. Thanks

    My personal favorite is Auslogics Disk Defrag because of the simplicity and it gets the job done very well for me. About the shutdown after defragging, I haven't seen it fail in doing so and it does shutdown the computer if instructed too :)

    Put defrag in a .bat file and add a shutdown /t 0, then when defrag finishes, the computer will shutdown.

    DefragAndShutdown.bat

    C:\Windows\System32\defrag.exe
    shutdown /t 0 /c "Shutdown after defrag completed"

    Place an shortcut to the .bat file anywhere you want it then when you click on it, the defrag will start and when it completes the system will shutdown.

    Edit:
    Enter defrag /? from a Command Prompt to see the options available.

    The best, in my opinion is the Windows 7 Defragger.

    I personally like Puran Defrag, has some nice features such as boot-time defrag, shutdown after defrag, reboot after defrag etc.

    In case anyone wants to use the windows default defragger, then Ztruker's solution is the way to go.

    The built in Windows 7 defragmentation program works well, in my opinion.

    I fully agree with this observation. Puran is the best among the dozen or so free and shareware defragmenters that I have used.

    A warning.

    If you use any defragger other than windows own you will likely lose restore points, maybe all of them.
