Unlike Windows default defrag tool, UltraDefrag can defragment only selected folders, can filter files by different criteria such as size, name and defragment them, or process multiple hard drives in the same time.
1. Installation
The program have a small size and is installing fast, but the installation files are different for different types of operating systems (32, 64 bit). Using a single installation file that autodetect user’s system specifications is needed.
2. Analyze the hard drive
UltraDefrag automatically detects hard drive partitions and users can select which partition to analyze or to defragment. Making an analyze will work faster, so is recommended to run before the real defragmentation because this will take longer.
