MyDefrag Portable - Enhanced

How to create MyDefrag Portable - Enhanced




1. Download and install it (jump to step #4 if you are using my Ketarin Update Script available [url=http://forum.raymond.cc/123868-post5.html]here)


2. Copy MyDefrag script interpreter (MyDefrag.exe) and everything inside Scripts and Example Scripts into a folder of your choice* - this is how your folder should look:

3. Your portable is now created - however this version is no longer 'stealth'.




4. Double-click MyDefrag.exe: instead of the 7 standard defrag, sort and optimize strategies you have 14.

5. You are not happy because you want the one-click-analyse-defrag-and-optimize? Easy, just create a shorcut to the main executable (MyDefrag.exe) and add the desired command-line arguments to the end**

(in this example MyDefrag will analyse volume C: and generate report in program folder only)

6. You can create as many shortcuts as you want, for instance i'm also using for my weekly optimization the following argument:

MyDefrag.exe -v C: OptimizeDaily.MyD

* If you're thinking on a batch to do this forget it, Universal Extractor trick doesnt work.

** Launchers like pstart or asuite have similar procedures.

You forgot to give a link to download

Here is it:

I don't use MyDefrag but it's a cool trick nonetheless...I already created a portable version just in case when I want to test it in the future.

Take note: It is not allowed to distribute the portable version you created...read this:

well. if everybody contributes with something this is more interesting, right?
thanks for the link

iam preparing an update script using Ketarin - when i get it i'll post it here.

regarding boot optimization, i dont quite get it - if a relative adress is used why this problem?

MyDefrag uses the "%SystemRoot%\Prefetch\Layout.ini" file for the boot optimization.

do you know a way to verify this?

Sorry, I've no idea...like I said earlier, I don't use MyDefrag...I prefer Iobit Smart Defrag and Auslogics Defrag...tried a lot of these freeware defragmenters before (including JKDefrag, etc) but I like the two due to its simplicity and ease of use. And so far, both hasn't failed me yet.

Yes, boot optimization is processed for non-bootable USB sticks, you can check that using -d. Extract:

17:29:51 Starting FileSelect for zone 3 (at line 55 column 3).
17:29:51 Cleaning up old data from memory.
17:29:51 Finished cleaning up old data from memory.
17:29:51 The volume has already been analyzed, using existing data.
17:29:51 Starting FileBoolean.
17:29:51 A analisar o ficheiro de optimização de arranque
17:29:51 Loading file into memory: C:\Windows\Prefetch\Layout.ini

Here is my Ketarin update script (customize it as you wish) - it uninstalls, downloads (from Filehippo), installs and extracts portable version to custom location acording to Jeroen Kessels recommended procedures. its verysilent and i tested on 32-bit XP and Vista.
