Is there a way to use Windows defragmenter at startup so it will more effectivly defrag system files?

Thanks.
 
No. But you can download "Page Defrag" from sysinternals.com. This application will defragment your paging and registry files. Use it on a test server first so that you understand what it does.

I'll take a look thanks.

The Windows defrag util doesn't seem to be able to defrag the files that build up in the System Volume Information folder, some of these files are quite big approx 1Gig but they seem to go after a reeboot. Any idea what they are and why they get so big?

E.g file: 32 Fragments 1.56 GB \System Volume Information\{4cac4db8-e4af-11d9-8861-505054503030}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

Cheers.
 
Apparently it's part of part of System Restore in XP so what does it do on a 2003 server?
