DefragMentor Command Line
Developer’s Description
DefragMentor Command Line is a command line file defragmentation utility. With DefragMentor Command Line you can defragment a single file or a group of files as well as to obtain information on file and disk fragmentation. DefragMentor Command Line is a perfect tool for automated file-based defragmentation.
Even if you defragment the entire disk on a regular basis, some frequently changed files become fragmented long before the next launch of disk defragmenter. So you can use DefragMentor Command Line to optimize placement of individual files thus reducing access time and improving overall performance of your system. Database files of any kind (especially large ones) are the best example of what DefragMentor Command Line can optimize.
Instead of running DefragMentor Command Line manually every time you need to defragment files you can schedule a task, which Windows will run for you automatically at any convenient time. Use the standard Windows task scheduler if you want to work in this way

There are a number of NT disk defraggers on the market, including Winternals Defrag Manager. These tools are useful for performing a general defragmentation of disks, but while most files are defragmented on drives processed by these utilities, some files may not be. In addition, it is difficult to ensure that particular files that are frequently used are defragmented – they may remain fragmented for reasons that are specific to the defragmentation algorithms used by the defragging product that has been applied. Finally, even if all files have been defragmented, subsequent changes to critical files could cause them to become fragmented. Only by running an entire defrag operation can one hope that they might be defragmented again.
Contig is a single-file defragmenter that attempts to make files contiguous on disk. Its perfect for quickly optimizing files that are continuously becoming fragmented, or that you want to ensure are in as few fragments as possible.
If you’re running a PC that doesn’t have a solid state drive (or SSD), you’re liking going to come across slowdowns if you have not defragmented your drive in a while.
Power Defragmenter is a free program which offers an alternative way to defrag your hard drives. It is optimized to deal with large HDDs and works by reducing the fragmentation of files on your drive. Power Defragmenter will organize your data in a way which provides quicker access by the operating system.
As a portable application, it is not necessary to install Power Defragmenter and it may be run without installation. Furthermore, you can also place it on a USB drive or memory card and run it on most systems which need to be defragmented.
The application itself was originally designed for older versions of Windows but no worries, it also works fine on newer versions of Windows like Windows 8 and Windows 7.
The application provides for four different modes including Defragment file(s), Defragment folder(s), Defragment disk and TriplePass Disk Defragmentation. The last one should run over the disk three times to catch anything that was missed in the previous pass. Once you’ve selected your option, the application will launch in command-line mode which you can safely minimize.
Overall, Power Defragmenter is a fast and free alternative disk defragger which is powerful and effectively improves the performance of systems with traditional hard drives.

READ THE FULL CHANGELOG
If your computer is running slower than expected, defragmentation is bound to make its performance a little better. It does so by reorganizing the data on your hard disk in order to create larger portions of free space, thus reducing the chances of fragmentation.
A powerful alternative to conventional defragmentation tools
The built-in Windows Disk Defragmenter is a good first-hand solution, but its efficiency on large-sized hard drives is debatable. If and when it fails to impress you, we urge you to take a look at Power Defragmenter, a much more advanced utility that’s effective and easy-to-use.
Compatible with most operating systems
Even though it’s stated to work only on NT/2000/XP operating systems, we tested it on Windows 7 and it performed flawlessly. Power Defragmenter was designed as a graphical interface for Sysinternal’s Contig, a small utility that defragments disks and files from Command Prompt.
Lightweight with no installation required
Since it’s based on Contig, users need to download this file and place it in the same directory as Power Defragmenter in order to enjoy the program’s functionality. Installation is not necessary, so there’s no need to worry about the system’s registry being affected in any way by the program.
Multiple defragmentation methods
Power Defragmenter is able to defragment files, folders, and disks and you can select one of these options from the first step of the defragmentation wizard. There’s also a TriplePass mode aimed at removable disks.
Silently getting the job done
Once you choose a task to perform, Power Defragmenter launches a command-line window and starts the job. When the task is completed, a confirmation window pops up, after which you are free to choose another defragmenting option. Canceling is possible at any time, by simply exiting the Command Prompt window.
A few last words
To sum up, Power Defragmenter is a reliable choice if you wish to perform an in-depth defragmentation of your system. Aside from accomplishing that at decent speed, it’s resource friendly. Forget about formatting, reinstalling Windows and using the built-in Disk Defragmenter. This application will work twice as hard and effective! There is also a portable edition of Power Defragmenter available.
