Fragmented data can slow down the PC, as it takes longer to read and write data on the disk. Much like disk cleaning, system defragmentation is part of the operations you should be doing periodically to make sure your computer is running at top performance.

One of the tools you can use for defragmenting data is WinContig. What is particular about it is the possibility to defragment both individual files and folders, not just entire disks, as happens with other similar software solutions.

Whether we are talking about HDD or SSD, WinContig can run disk defragmentation on demand. While it can analyze entire partitions as well, it can also run disk defragmentation on single files and directories, thus improving the loading speed of applications and games.

You can use WinContig to defragment files you use frequently, although running the operation on the entire disk is recommended as well, at least once in a while.

What is also interesting is the possibility to place files in fast or slow access zones of the disk. For higher performance, files you use frequently should be loaded in the fast zone, while data you rarely access can be placed in the slow zone of the disk.

When running disk or file defragmentation with WinContig, the application first checks the disks for errors using the Windows’ built-in function. This operation allows it to verify the integrity of files prior to defragmenting.

It is also recommended to run disk cleanup with WinContig before initiating a new disk defrag. Temporary files and the contents of the Recycle Bin can be deleted by WinContig or another external application of your choice, with additional but optional command-line switches.

WinContig is an interesting alternative to defragmenting tools, allowing you to target individual files and folders, not disks or partitions exclusively, which is its most distinctive feature. It provides a cost-free solution for running disk, file and folder defragmenting. Moreover, initiating file or folder defrag with WinContig can be done via the Windows context menu, since it features shell integration.

What's new in WinContig 5.0.2.1:

  • Fixed a bug that may lead to a crash during the defragmentation process on some Windows 7 environments.
