And another excellent piece of software for free!!!!!
Tuesday, January 8, 2013 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: Personal Computing
Doc is always a good finder of freebies but here's one not a lot of people know about..........PerfectDisk Free..........The latest version 12.5 which has had a few of the 'paid for' versions 'bells and whistles' removed.
As most knowledgeable software gurus know Raxco's PerfectDisk has been one of the leading defrag software makers for years and years. Whilst some with SSD's don't feel they need defrag software others with 'normal' hard drives should defrag regularly.............makes my machine leaner and faster, that's for sure. Also, one small tip with this piece of software..........to defrag your system files on boot just right click the drive when you get the software up and select the option. I mention this as its not easy to find.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and its a great piece of software..........better than any other defragger out there.
and you're welcome!

I loaded up PerfectDisk yesterday and I'm pretty pleased with it. Only "buy nag" I've seen so far - and it's not really one so much - is its startup window. Might be able to disable it, haven't really checked. At any rate it's very reasonable.
I like the way it does its boot defrag - it does put up a basic screen to let you know what's going on. Much better than sitting and wondering. Thanks for the tip on how do initiate that Leo, I agree that it's not particularly obvious. Personally I too see some value in defragging system files, and file placement too for that matter.
Nice catch, thanks again.
You're welcome Dave..........
