Defragmention unsuccessful for 3 files, 4,350 kb total

[kcwebb]

After running Disk Defragmenter I received a message
noting that some files were not defragmented. When
looking at the report it noted under File fragmention
that the total fragmented files were 3 with total excess
fragments of 4,350. How can I determine which files are
fragmented and what to do with them?

Thanks for the link. I'll look it over to see if I find
an answer.

I found how large my paging file is, but not whether or
not it is fragmented. The following instructions were in
the link http://tinyurl.com/yrldz.

"You can determine whether the paging file is fragmented
by analyzing the volume that contains the paging file and
then viewing the analysis report.

I cannot find in my computer's help information where I
can do this. Do you, Tom, or anyone else.

The "volume that contains the paging file" is your C: drive (unless you
moved the paging file to another partition, in which case you would know
where it was.)

The paging file is one of the most active files on your computer.
Defragmenting the paging file, in my view, is about as useful as cleaning up
while your kid's party is still in progress.
