Auslogics, I’ve tried a bunch of others but I just have a hard time dealing with those services and other processes that always run. Meaning I always end up stopping them and then it’s just too much trouble to start again.

Omg, how can you have 5,700 empty folders?! If LA saw it, you would’ve given him a heart attack for sure…

I’m lying here breathless. :o

Not all empty folders are safe to remove, better be careful with that. Anyway I can’t really see the relation to disk defraggers so let’s stay on topic! :slight_smile:

Anyone knows about a defragger that’s free AND works for Windows 98? (It’s for a virtual machine.)

LOL I already knew I can use it (I do already). What I mean is whether there are (better) free third party solutions.

Just tried iobit and its does a better job then Auslogics.

58

Vettetech, in what way does it do “a better job than Auslogics”?

59

Anybody tried UltraDefrag?

UltraDefrag has the following features:
Very fast defragmentation, the work is done via a kernel mode driver which has an optimal defraging algorithm.
Very small engine written in pure C.
Nice graphical interface - compact and functional.
Safety, because the file moving is accomplished with Microsoft’s own Defrag API.
Simple to use.
Ability to generate html reports of fragmentation status.
Ability to include/exclude files based on simple filters.
Native x64 support.

Interesting, reminds me of JkDefrag. Small, open source, seems to have an ugly GUI. It’s much nicer than Jk: http://www.themadfatter.com/2008/02/11/ultradefrag-an-open-source-defrag-alternative/
