Today i’ll suggest an application that’ll probably boost your computer perfomance lil bit. Most of us forgots to defrag periodacly but JKDefrag is here to help out.

It as an freeware defrag application for Windows which can run as standalone program or as a screensaver.

JkDefrag is a disk defragmenter and optimizer for Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista/2008/X64. Completely automatic and very easy to use, fast, low overhead, with several optimization strategies, and can handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that looks like a disk to Windows. Included are a Windows version, a commandline version (for scheduling by the task scheduler or for use from administrator scripts), a screensaver version, a DLL library (for use from programming languages), versions for Windows X64, and the complete sources.

Running as screensaver makes the program a must have for every user. Set it once and forget about defragging because when your computer goes idle, it’ll do on its own.

Installing screensaver:

JkDefragScreenSaver.scr + JkDefragScreenSaver.exe Screen saver version. Move (or copy) these two files to the “windows” folder on your harddisk (usually “c:Windows” or “c:Winnt”). It will automatically become visible in the list of screen savers as “JkDefrag screensaver” and can be used just like any other screensaver (right-click somewhere on your desktop and select Properties/Personalize, then select the Screen Saver tab).
Note: on Vista the screensaver only works with User Account Control turned off (see Control Panel, User Accounts, Turn User Account Control on or off).
Note: screen savers do not lengthen the life span of CRT and LCD monitors, contrary to popular belief. It is better to let the monitor be turned off by the Windows energy saving settings.

    I have been trying out Diskeeper on my drives and I find it to be the best I’ve tried so far. Its better than any of the free ware programs.
