Five tips to speed up system defragmentation speed

Close application

Since some programs may need to repeatedly read data from the hard disk during operation, this will affect the normal operation of the defragmenter. In the case of unstable system, it may even cause a crash. Therefore, in order to speed up the defragmentation of disk defragmentation, it is best to turn off each running program.

Adjusting parameters or using dedicated software

If the capacity of a hard disk or the capacity of a partition is small, it will take too long to defragment it, but for some data-filled For large hard drives and partitions, a long wait is required. Therefore, when we are arranging these large-capacity hard disks or partitions, we can take the following two measures: First, you can turn off the optimization parameters in the finishing program attached to the system itself, which can speed up the defragmentation, but the effect of this method It may not be obvious. Another way is to use a dedicated defragmentation tool to organize the hard disk or partition, such as the Vop software I currently use, which is very fast.

Modifying the registry to automatically turn off the screen saver

Before performing defragmentation, first turn off the screen saver, otherwise the Disk Defragmenter will start repeatedly, but if you pass it every time Manually closing the application can be cumbersome. Here I tell you a little trick, that is, by automatically modifying the registry to achieve automatic shutdown of the screen saver. The specific steps are as follows: First, use the regedit command on the command line to open the registry, navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware MicrosoftwindowsCurrentVersionApplets", and then look for the "Defrag" key value in this path. If not, create a new one, the system defaults. This key value is available in the case. Create a new primary key called "Settings" under the "Defrag" key, then create a primary key called "DisableScreenSaver" under this newly created primary key, and finally change its default string value to " ;YES" The screen protection will be automatically masked each time you run Disk Defragmenter, and it will be automatically restored after the operation is completed.

Changing the location of temporary folders

When surfing the Internet with Internet Explorer, users often take offline browsing to access more information in order to access more information. . Each time you go online, the IE browser will leave a lot of temporary files in the C:windowsTemporary Internet Files directory. If we frequently surf the Internet, Internet Explorer may generate a large number of temporary files in this directory. It will also frequently read and write the hard disk and generate a lot of fragmentation, which will affect the access speed. To avoid this, we can also assign temporary directories to other partitions. The method is: first create a temporary file storage directory in the D drive, select "Control Panel"*"Internet Options", click the "Set" button in the opened dialog box, and then click " ; move the folder " button, select the corresponding directory in the D drive.

Keep enough disk space

We will find that if the remaining space of the hard disk is too small, the running application will be slow and the disk defragmentation will be difficult. Therefore, for smaller disk partitions, it is best to keep more than 15% of available space; for larger disk partitions, it is best to keep more than 5% of available space; for boot partitions, at least 40MB of available space. In addition, in the process of using the computer, we should release the wasted disk space in time, such as frequently emptying the recycle bin, deleting the history after surfing the Internet, and deleting temporary folders and files.
