Quick-Defragment Windows 7 disk fragmentation with the right-click menu

When the system is used for a period of time, disk defragmentation is required, otherwise it can affect system running speed and reduce hard disk productivity. This is naturally true for today's very popular Windows 7 operating systems, where regular defragmentation of Windows 7 can help increase the speed of the entire operating system.

Most computer users who use Windows systems know that they need to defragment the system after a period of time, otherwise it can affect the speed of the system and reduce the working efficiency of the hard disk. Now that we're in the Windows 7 era, is this smart, efficient Windows 7 operating system going to need us to defragment the disk? The answer is yes, increasing disk fragmentation can also affect Windows 7 performance. Because Windows disk defragmentation is too slow, it is common for many computer users to use other system tuning tools to defragment their disks, but Windows 7 has been improved in a number of ways, and disk collation is no exception, so if you're using the Windows 7 operating system, After a while you might try the disk-finishing features that Windows 7 comes with.

Previous versions of the Windows system's disk-finishing feature always needed to right-click the disk and then select Properties in the pop-up menu before calling the Disk Defragmenter tool. Now in Windows 7, we can use a little bit of tricks to make your disk easier to organize, just put the disk-finishing function into the right menu and let Windows 7 quickly perform the defragmentation command at any time. How do you do it specifically? One minute to teach everyone.

Before the operation I thought I should give you a detailed description of the origin of disk fragmentation, in fact, disk fragmentation should be called file fragmentation, this is because the user files are not continuously stored in the disk, but is dispersed to the entire disk in different areas of the formation. When the application requires insufficient physical memory, the general Windows operating system produces a temporary swap file on the hard disk, which is virtualized into memory with the hard disk space occupied by the file, and the virtual memory management program frequently reads and writes to the hard disk, resulting in a lot of fragmentation. In addition, as a necessary web browser in your computer when you use the Internet browsing, will also produce a large number of temporary files or temporary file directory settings can also cause a lot of disk debris formation. Typically, these file fragments do not cause system usage problems, but too much fragmentation increases the burden of the system's read and write files, resulting in decreased performance, which can sometimes result in file loss and, even worse, hard disk service life. So it's important to defragment the disk regularly.

Microsoft provides a more efficient disk-finishing tool for Windows 7 operating systems, but it's a bit cumbersome to go into the system tools in the "Accessories" option in the Start menu at every startup. We can simply modify the Windows registry to add disk collation to the right menu of the disk, and you can do this right away by selecting a disk.

First, press the Windows key + letter "R" to bring up the standalone run window, type the "regedit" command to open Registry Editor, then find Hkey_classes_root\drive\shell, and then create a new branch in the left panel named runas , modify the default value in the right panel to defragment, and then create a new key value named extended in the right panel. Now go back to the Disk Management window and right click on a disk, and in the pop-up menu you can see the defragment (disk collation).
