Automatically defrag drives
I found an article on the web the other day about automatically defragmenting drives and thought that I might just as well post a tutorial about it here. Basically, this allows you to defrag any drive by right-clicking on it and choosing “defrag.”
To enable this, open notepad and paste the following code:
; context_defrag.INF
; Adds Defrag to the right click context menu in Windows XP
[version]
signature=”$CHICAGO$”
[DefaultInstall]
AddReg=AddMe
[AddMe]
HKCR,”Drive\Shell\Defrag\command”,,,”DEFRAG.EXE %1″
Next save it as context_defrag.inf onto your desktop or basically anywhere… (Note: be sure to save it as All Files and not Text Documents!)
Right-click on it, choose Install and you’re ready to start defragmenting!
I believe the original article by Paul Thurrott is here.
