Make a batch file with this.

c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe

Or you can get a third party defrag program and it will do a more efficient job and will run a lot faster.

Hi markblanc

Although i wud agree with 1badtech too, that a third party defragger works nice and it will also defrag your MFT and paging file as well, and its faster too.
