Are you boring that the slower the more you use computers? Are you boring the Windows Disk Defragmenter is cumbersome and inefficient? These five tips that can help us to accelerate the speed of disk defragment.
Close the application
As a result of the operation of certain programs may need to repeatedly read the data in the hard disk, normally it will affect the defragmenter work. If the system is instability, it will even lead to the blue screen of death. Therefore, in order to speed up the speed of disk defragment, the best way is to close all running programs.
Modify the registry to automatically shut down the screen saver
Before disk defragmenter work, we must first turn off screen saver, or disk defragmenter will start again, but if every time manually close the application, may be more trouble. Here tell everyone a small trick, that is, by modifying the registry to automatically close the screen saver. Specific steps are as follows:
First, use the “regedit” command to open the registry, navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets”, then find whether there is the “Defrag” key under this path, if there is no then create a new key. In the “Defrag” and then create a new key called “Settings” the main key, and then in this new one of a primary key named “DisableScreenSaver” primary key, and finally change the default string value to “YES”. After each run the disk defragmenter, the screen saver will be automatically closed, run automatically after finishing of the defragmentation.
To change the temporary folder location
IE will generate a large number of temporary files in the directory of Temporary Internet Files, hard drives will also read and write frequently, resulting in a large number of fragments, thus slow down the speed of access. In order to avoid this, we can assign the same temporary directory to other partition.
Methods are: First, create a new directory in the other partition to storage the temporary files. Second, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options. In the opened dialog box, click the “Settings” button, and then click “Move folder” button, select the directory created before.
Retain sufficient disk space
We will find when using computer, if the remaining space of hard disk is too small, the speed of running an application will be very slow, disk defragmenter is also difficult. Therefore, for the small disk partition, it is best to keep more than 15% of available space; for the large disk partition, it is best to keep more than 5% of the available space; for the boot partition, at least more than 200MB space.
In addition, when using computer, we should release the waste of disk space, such as frequent emptying the recycle bin, delete internet history, as well as delete the files of temporary folder.
Adjust the parameters or the use of professional software
If the size of hard disk partition or volume is very small, it will defragment a long time, but for a number of full data for large hard drives and partitions, you need to wait a long time. Therefore, for the large hard disk or partition, you can take the following two methods:
First of all, turn off the optimization parameters of the system disk defragmenter, so that defragmenter can accelerate the speed, but this approach effect may not be very obvious.
Another approach is to use a professional tool to defragment the hard disk or partition, for example, Smashing Defrag can defragment disk with a very high speed. If we use Smashing Defrag every day, the disk will be optimized in a little minutes, the system will be able to maintain the best condition. The suggestion is that you can use the windows task schedule to keep the defragmenter run automatically at least once a week.
