Thanks.

I see nothing unusual in the screenshot. It shows nothing of the pagefile.
Thanks for your expert reply........you mean to say all looks fine?
The light brown blocks are the page file?
I have not used Defraggler for a long time so do not know what the colors mean. But there is nothing in the display that seems unusual. If you have a concern you need to explain what it is.
page file normally does not get moved; only within WFW3.11 and earlier Windows, did Norton Utilities's SpeedDisk actually move the page file to the "top" of the hard-drive.
The location of the pagefile within the partition is of little importance. Technically the best location of the pagefile is not the beginning of the drive but close to your most accessed files. But in practice the benefits are minimal, usually unmeasurable let alone noticeable. Fragmentation of the pagefile is of no consequence except in extreme cases.
In any event Defraggler is unable to either move or defragment the pagefile. The same for most other utilities.
In my machines's case its in the middle?
Doesn't Derfragler defrag page file on boot time defrag?
Thanks.
That pic looks exactly like several Win 7 installs on VMware that I have done over the years, I remember trying to defrag it and for some reason never quite getting rid of the last few blocks at the end of the drive , I think they were the folders with the $ sign in front of them after disabling file sharing I was left with 1 block I think. I remember using Windows defrag multiple time with little change then trying Defraggler several times and that changed it a bit more but it defiantly wasn't worth the time it took
Edit: Defraggler will tell you what is in those blocks at the end of the dive if you click or mouse over them ( can not remember which one )
