- 1. What is UltraDefrag?
-
- UltraDefrag is a powerful Open Source defragmentation utility for Windows
- NT 4.0 and later operating systems. It is very fast, because the defragmenting
- is done by kernel-mode driver. They are three interfaces to them: graphical,
- console and native. The GUI is very useful, because visually represents your
- filesystem as a color coded cluster map. The console is another option for
- those that prefer the command line. It is also benificial in that it can be
- run in the task scheduler. Finally, the native executable will run at boot time
- in a manner similar to chkdsk.
-
- The design of UltraDefrag is very simple. There are no skins and other
- unnecessary stuff. It is a small and powerful program!
-
- It can be used on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server
- 2003, Windows Vista and all of the 64-bit editions of Windows. For details
- about x64 Vista SP1 see FAQ.TXT file.
