This utility uses a program called contig.exe that is part of the SysInternals tools.
That program can be obtained at Microsoft's site here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx
(look under File and Disk Utilities)
Contig defrags individual files, and can be used to defrag a subdirectory or an
entire drive (if invoked at the root - ex contig -s c:\).
What DefragBySize does is to do an initial find from the path given (ex C:\) and then sort all
the files by largest to smallest. Then it invokes contig in the background to do the individual
defrags. In theory this will work better than simply invoking contig with its subdirectory argument
because larger files will be able to take advantage of the larger contiguous spaces first. Whereas
if smaller files are done first they may create redundant work (as contig has to move
previously-defragmented smaller files to make room for larger ones) or make defragging larger files
impossible.
--------
Usage:
--------
Save DefragBySize.exe to your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (or WINNT if that's your Windows directory)
DefragBySize x:\[path]
where 'x:' is a valid drive letter, and path is an optional argument (in the event you'd like to only
defrag a portion of your directory structure).
------------
Examples:
------------
Defrag your whole C: drive:
DefragBySize c:\
Defrag your MP3 collection (assuming it's stored at C:\MP3):
DefragBySize c:\mp3
