When was the last time you defragmented your hard drive?  Is your computer a little slower to load lately?

JkDefrag is a fantastic alternative to the Disk Defragmenter tool that comes with Windows (2000/2003/XP/Vista/2008).  It does it better than Windows.  (For a full explanation, read on the website)

But how often should it be done? What if you forget to keep doing it? An easy “set and forget” solution is to install this as a screensaver.  Download JkDefrag from the website, and extract the archive.  Copy the two files:

• JkDefragScreenSaver.exe
• JkDefragScreenSaver.scr

to the c:\Windows\ directory.

Then on your desktop, right click and go to Properties.  Under the Screen Saver tab, select JkDefrag as your screen saver.  Select it to not start unless it hasn’t been done for 24 hours, and select your preferred screen saver to come on after the defrag is complete.  It will now defrag every disk drive connected to your system on a regular basis, and it doubles up as a pretty good screen saver in itself!
