mydefragMyDefrag is a disk defragmenter and optimizer, a maintenance utility to make your harddisk faster. Fast, low overhead, with many optimization strategies, can handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that looks like a disk to Windows. Included are a set of easy to use scripts for endusers, a scripting engine for demanding users, a screensaver, and a combined Windows plus commandline version that can be scheduled by the Windows task scheduler or for use from administrator scripts.

MyDefrag is extremely solid because it is based on the standard defragmentation API by Microsoft. Most defragmenters are based on this API, including the free defragmenter that comes with Windows and many commercial defragmenters. Basically all MyDefrag does is send “move this file to that location” commands to the API. The API is part of the operating system and can safely move almost any file on the disk, without risk and while the computer is in full use.

  • Added the MoveUpToZone fileaction.
  • Changed the NTFS scanner so it will now always use 512 bytes for the USA fixup. Previously it used the number of bytes per sector, which is 512 bytes for most harddisks, but it appears that NTFS also uses 512 for ultra-big harddisks, even though they have a different number of bytes per sector.
  • Added some code to SelectNtfsSystemFiles() to protect the program against infinite loops in data on the disk.
  • Fixed a bug that caused MoveToEndOfDisk() not to display a progress percentage.
  • Changed the ExcludeVolumes setting. It can now be used multiple times in a script.
  • Documented the “/TASKS” installer commandline option.
  • Added the SkipBlock option to all the SortBy fileactions.
  • Added the ExitIfTimeout setting.
  • Added the bouncing box display mode to the screensaver.
  • Added a special exclusion for the “$dcsys$” file used by DiskCryptor so MyDefrag will never move this file. The exclusion is not really needed because the file is protected by the DiskCryptor driver, but I have added it anyway, just in case.
  • Changed the way how variables can be defined and changed. Previously the syntax was “NAME=VALUE”, but this caused undesirable error messages in case of a syntax error. Variables can now be defined and changed with the SetVariable command.
  • Several improvements in error reporting. One of these is that the regular MyDefrag version will no longer ask the user to post the debug logfile on the forum.
  • The ImportListFromProgramHints fileboolean will now ignore hint files that are older than 30 days.
  • Changed the contents of the “date” variable from “2010/12/31″ into “2010-12-31″. The old contents could not be used for filenames.
  • The installer will now create a daily scheduled task by default. Previously the default was not to create the task.
  • Added the “DataDiskDaily.MyD”, “DataDiskWeekly.MyD”, “DataDiskMonhtly.MyD”, “Daily.MyD”, and “Monthly.MyD” scripts. Renamed the “OptimizeDaily.MyD” script into “SystemDiskDaily.MyD”, “OptimizeWeekly.MyD” into “SystemDiskWeekly.MyD”, and “OptimizeMonthly.MyD” into “SystemDiskMonthly.MyD”.
  • The installer now creates two scheduled tasks, a daily task and a monthly task.
  • Fixed a problem in the ZoneSize and ZoneBegin script variables.

  • Fixed a bug in the grammar of the MaxRunTime statement. It can now be used multiple times in a block, as intended.
  • Added a logfile footer with the finishing time and total running time.
  • Added ExcludeVolumes(CDRom(yes)) to the settings, to hide the cdroms in the the MyDefrag script chooser window.
  • If MyDefrag is started with some volumes names (“MyDefrag.exe -v C: -v D:”) then the script chooser now only displays those volumes.
  • Added support for volume device names, for example “\Device\HarddiskVolume1″.
  • Added the ImportListFromProgramHints fileboolean.
  • Added several options to WhenFinished, such as Hibernate, Standby, and WarnUsers.
  • Fixed a problem in the calculation of the ZoneSize and ZoneBegin numbers.
  • Changed the selection criteria of FastFill (more favor files high on the disk) to move less data and finish quicker.
  • Changed the installer so the association between MyD scripts and a new version of MyDefrag is not deleted any more when an old version is uninstalled.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause certain VolumeBooleans to crash.
  • Added the MoveToEndOfDisk fileaction.
  • Added the NumberBetween volumeboolean.
  • Added the FileSystemType volumeboolean.
  • Added the FileLocation fileboolean.
  • Added the Minimum() and Maximum() NUMBER operators.
  • Added the RememberUnmovables setting.
  • Added the Highlight.MyD example script.
  • Added the SetColor “text” setting.

PIOZR is a revolutionary technology which makes your computer faster than ever before. It works on the simple principle that “Things most needed should be placed at the most accessible places in order.” This principle applies to your PC’s hard disk as well. The outer edge is the fastest, and as we go inside reading and writing speed slows. PIOZR places frequently used files in order at faster disk areas, boosting the overall system speed.

  • Puran Intelligent Optimizer – PIOZR
  • Directories Consolidation for speed boost
  • Optimization by Freeing Space
  • Automatic Defragmentation for worry free defrag
  • Boot Time Defragmentation for system files like MFT
  • Low Priority Defrag for work while defrag experience
  • Individual File/Folder Defrag for selective defrag
  • GUI and Console Command Line Defrag Supported
  • Restart/Shutdown After Boot Time Defragmentation
  • File/Folder Exclusion or exclusion by wildcard facility
  • Native support for 64Bit Windows
  • Supports Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7

Auslogics Disk DefragDisk fragmentation leads to system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startups and shutdowns. Auslogics Disk Defrag is designed for fast optimization of modern hard disks.

Hard disks are by far the slowest component in your computer. CPU and memory work much faster than hard disks because they do not have moving parts. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance.

Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the hard drive disk heads move frequently when reading files which leads to freeze-ups and system crashes. It is important to keep your disks defragmented and optimized as much as possible.

Auslogics Disk Defrag is not just a defragmenter any more, but a fully featured disk optimizer. And with all the advanced techniques of disk optimization it has, Disk Defrag 3 remains extremely compact and even easier to use!

  • Changed the script chooser so that now all disks are deselected by default.
  • Fixed a problem in the calculation of the beginning and end of a zone. The gap that PlaceNtfsSystemFiles() makes for the NTFS reserved area was sometimes counted twice, causing the next zone to start too far up.
  • Changed the syntax so that number multipliers (such as MB and Gi) can now be used with floating-point numbers, not only integer numbers.
  • Added the RoundDown() function for calculating numbers.
  • Added extra debugging code in an attempt to find the reason why the screensaver sometimes crashes.
  • Changed the default debug level to zero.
  • Fixed a bug in MakeGap() and AddGap() that sometimes caused the program to crash.
  • Fixed a bug in the calculation of the ZoneSize number.
