Defragmentation tips using MyDefrag

Lately I have been experimenting with custom defragmentation scripts which can be created based on script examples that come with MyDefrag. What is a good idea is to shove bootup files, folders, EXE and DLL files to the outside of a drive and everything else following. Each of these areas is referred to as a zone in MyDefrag and as many as needed can be defined.

There is this weird thing when pushing files older than a certain date to the end of the drive where a gap right at the end is being created during defragmenting. To resolve this, simply do not have any sort order at all for the files. This also works from other areas.

Like with many defragmenting tools is that things only settle down after a few full runs including shorter defragmentation time. When no sort order is involved then the process takes less time, hence rather set more zones in MyDefrag and gaps as usual.

World of WarCraft utility

My latest experiment includes a utility that I wrote using C# to give me a list of which installed World of WarCraft addons are an old version. So far it is still very much under construction hence I do not yet want to publish it. The application can be made better.

The application needs interface changes as well as testing in 32 bit Windows since I am developing on 64 bit where the game location is stored in a different location in memory.
