WinContig is an easy-to-use file defragmentation program that does not require defragmenting the entire disk. This is useful for squeezing extra performance out of important or frequently used files or programs without wasting time and energy on the rest of the drive.
The program engine is based on the standard Microsoft defragmentation API. In addition, WinContig allows you to group files into profiles, and it accepts a number of optional command-line switches that you can use to control how the program operates.

It seems a good idea, but got a bad error in my XP.
The program is in Italian...
BSOD while starting :'(
Dear AdonisHill,
just select it from Options menu -> Language.
An excellent program. Provided you go to the homepage like everyone should, you will understand how this works and I have to say, this is some fine freeware. It does exactly what it says and at a competitive speed. Very impressive. Now a part of my toolkit.
Is ok, But prefer JKDegrag.
Why isn't JKDefrag in this list? It is extremely portable, and very effective. I recommend JKD over this.
The recent and current version (v1) have been very good on my Windows XP SP3 system. I went back to WinContig because for some reason the recent version of Defraggler is really slower than before on my computer. I like Defraggler too, but this newer version of WinContig is extremely fast and I like the built in system check and deleting of temporary files. I like defraggler's interface better, but they are both excellent programs. The wonderful thing about freeware is we can use both! Thanks to the WinContig creator(s) for making another excellent fuss-free program. The exclusion list is also really handy.
V1.00
aw, i just ran v1 and it crashed on my XP SP3 system. So I guess they don't have all the bugs worked out yet. To bad.
V1.00
OK, I ran a newer version on my XP SP3 system and it worked just fine. Thanks for a nice easy defrag program with some nice display information and command line features. I actually like how the pre-version 1 versions looked better (less cluttered), but at least this works and doesn't crash and is portable and simple.
V1.05
Recommend it for programs you need to run their fastest.
I use it for Dragon Naturally Speaking so all the files are optimized and I don't have to defrag the entire hard drive (which is unnecessary and time-consuming). I just selected:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking9
And went to "Profiles" - "Save Profiles As" to store those directories.
Then I just load that profile whenever I need to use DrgNatSpk.
