21 Windows Apps - JKDefrag

This entry is part 4 of 14 in the series 21 Days of the Best Windows Apps

Posted Jul 5, 2008 by Rich Menga  

JKDefrag is a file defragmentation utility for Windows. It is free and very ugly-looking but does the job very, very well. When you download this application it doesn’t get any easier as far as ease-of-use is concerned. There is nothing to install. Just double-click the JKDefrag.exe executable file and it starts doing its thing. This will surprise some people because most don’t expect an app to just work like this without some sort of installation first - but JKDefrag does what it’s supposed to do. You double-click and just wait until it’s finished. That’s it. Nothing else to do. It’s that easy.

See video below for an example of what to expect.

    Well, the video doesn’t work. I really like Auslogics Defragger, it’s free and works with any version of Windows.

    The video does work, and where is the link to this mysterious Auslogics Defragger you speak of? (If you’re going to suggest an alternative, post a link.)

    I did not tried JKDefrag right now, but i read something about “JKDefrag GUI”, wich should help to do easier handling with the options for JKDefrag.
    Like i said, i did not tried both of them (so, sorry if i’m wrong), but normaly changing JKDefrag the settings should only be changeable by using the windows command line.

    Only thought it could help some people (if that GUI thingy works). And sorry for my bad english! ;)
