Scheduled Defragmentation

The completely automatic disk defragmentation can be easily set through standard Windows Task Scheduler.

The following scheduling scheme looks quite reasonable:

  • Every 30 minutes:
     udefrag "%APPDATA%\Mozilla*"
    
  • Every day:
     udefrag "%APPDATA%\Google\GoogleEarth*"
    
  • Every week:
     udefrag cmd.exe /C "set UD_IN_FILTER="%often_accessed_folders%" && udefrag --wait --all-fixed"
    
  • Every two months:
     cmd.exe /C "set UD_EX_FILTER="system volume information;temp;recycle;.zip;.7z;.rar" && set UD_SIZELIMIT=100M && udefrag --wait --all-fixed"
    

This scheme running automatically may save a lot of time eliminating the need to start defragmenter manually.

The variable often_accessed_folders is just a placeholder. It must be created by yourself or replaced by a list of folders. Example: *documents*;*pictures*;*music*
