Windows Vista - Better Performance Part 2 - Defragmentation

Here I am for the next part of vista tweak.

Next, the knowledge of defragmentation has to be known in order to have system run faster in ANY OPERATING SYSTEM.

Now, what is defragmentation? Basically, it is a process which reduce the fragmentation of files in the system. Well, fragmentation means that the condition of file which breaks up into pieces and stored in many different location in the hard disk. Note that, fragments slow system performance, as it needs time to locate and assembles the parts of fragmented files. To reduce fragmentation, defragmentation has to be carried out.

The are lots types of defraggler you can look for through the net. Now the question is, which can be the best?
Well, there is no best or worst, as long as the defraggler is functioning. Besides that, the default system defraggler can also be used, however, I personally do not recommend to use that, where there are a lot more better defraggler on the net, in terms of more user friendly interface, faster, and more detailed results reported.

Personally, I would recommend Raxco's PerfectDisk10. It is a pretty useful defraggler and can compete with other top defraggler.

The main features are:


SMARTPlacement™
optimizes your drives so they are in the best possible condition. This patented optimization technique automatically organizes files according to your unique usage patterns. The result is faster boot times, faster defragmentation runs, reduced resource consumption, and slower refragmentation of your drives. All done in a single defrag pass.


Space Restoration Technology™
PerfectDisk’s exclusive Space Restoration Technology gives you the largest piece of contiguous free space possible. This helps ensure new files are created in a single piece, thereby reducing refragmentation of your drives. Free space consolidation also ensures the fastest write performance possible. In addition to the faster read performance provided by file defragmentation. 

Free Space Management
PerfectDisk offers a host of features to help you better understand and manage the space on your drive. Easily free up wasted space, remove unnecessary duplicate files, see a graphical view of your files and directories, and get a complete set of space management reports to quickly analyze space distribution of your files and folders.


Selected Files Defrag
With PerfectDisk’s unique Selected Files Defrag option, you have complete control over the files you defrag – you can choose to defragment just a single file or selected group of files. This can be useful for particularly large files that are modified often, reducing the need to defragment the entire drive.    


Here are some screenshot to basically introduce PerfectDisk 10

Eventhough it requires a license in order to run, this post, i will post up the cracked version, so that you wont need to buy the software and use it with full features.

Windows Vista - Better Performance. Part 1

Windows Vista.
For Windows Vista run smoothly at either laptop or dekstop, here's the minimum requirements.

For Windows Vista Basic users,
-Processor speed at least 2.0GHz and above.
-3GB RAM at least and above, the more, the better.
-Graphics media accelerator. (some laptops comes with Intel Media Accelerator, well, external graphic cards would better, like nvidia, ATI radeon and so on.) =)

For Windows Vista Premium and Ultimate users,
-Processor speed at least 2.1GHz and above.
-4GB RAM and above, the more, the better.
-Graphics media accelerator. (some laptops comes with Intel Media Accelerator, well, external graphic cards would better, like nvidia, ATI radeon and so on.) =)

Alrights. here you are some useful tweaks to make windows vista run more faster, smoother, nicer, THAN windows XP. of course in terms of speed, WINDOWS XP takes it all. because XP is more simple and easy. In terms of security and user friendly interface, windows vista would be the one. =)
So, lets get started.

1. Clean up your hard disk junk.
Go to My Computer > Right Click > Properties > Disk Cleanup (under the pie chart).
Wait for sometime for it to load, depending on how much junk you have in your PC.
After that, TICK everything and CLICK OK and OK again.

Note : If you're using hibernation often, DO NOT TICK ON "HIBERNATION FILE CLEANER". Careful, if its ticked, and cleaned, your hibernate would be disable and. to enable it again, Its not easy.



If thats the case, and you want to enable it again, follow these steps.
Go to Start > type "Command Prompt" in the search box > Right Click the Command Prompt shown > Select "Run As Administrator" > type in powercfg/hibernate on > enter > reboot your PC.



then you're done.

2. Install CCleaner.
This is an extreme useful cleaner that helps to CLEAN UP all the junks in your PC completely. It also helps to clean up registry that is unused. =)
Heres the link to download. It is completely free.



3. Stop all Unnecessary Start Up application.
Most of the user, would experience slow starting up the windows vista when you're first login into your account. You need to wait a long time to have the PC settle down(after starting up all applications and services) before you can really start your work.

Go to Start, type "msconfig" and enter.



Choose Startup tab. and browse through all the applications that starts when the windows start. DISABLE the application you ARE NOT using, and be careful and be sure on what you are disabling. DO NOT simple disable if you don't know what you are disabling at.

Dull.

Alright. It's time for an UPDATE.

Well, my life was so LIFELESS. until.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO UPDATE. argh.

i mean it.

Today, is Saturday. Another weekend for me to have a BREAK from college.

And I will be having my Vacation to Genting Highlands tomorrow. wtf.

Life is getting SERIOUSLY challenging. (eventhough I am so LIFELESS. what turf. ==")

Most of the time, my challenge came from college. well, for all those assignments, and projects.

Sometimes, I had been wondering, by looking at the clock. "tick, tock, tick, tick, tock, .. "

IT'S SO SLOW.

But, WHY TIME TICK TOCK TILL SO FAST. what turf. -.-

Time isn't flying.

It is the WORLD that had been CHANGED rapidly. Agree?

PEOPLE changed nowadays. for not being who they are. SIGH.

Sometimes, there are someone, do not realize, what they had thought.

What's wrong with the WORLD today?

Homosapiens is not gonna be HUMAN anymore.

Why?

BECAUSE. their mind are CONTROLLING them ONE by ONE.

Soon, there would be ALIEN in this world. which is,

OUR BRAIN.

New Hardwork.

Today, I went for the classes according time table and started semester 2.

Every lesson today, lecturers don't really started teaches yet.

As they briefly explained to us about what would be covering for our syllabus for each subject.

I found out that, it's gonna be tougher than the syllabus of the previous semester. Argh.

Seriously, this semester can said to be the most IMPORTANT once, and, the most suffering once.

I took 5 subjects this semester again, which is more than what a MUFY student should be taking, which is 4. So total, I am gonna finish off 10 subject for the whole year.

That would be,

Semester 1 (Jan - May 2009)

English Part A -------------------------- *ticked*

Mathematics Part A ------------------- *ticked*

Biology Part A -------------------------- *ticked*

Chemistry Part A ---------------------- *ticked*

Computer Science Part A ------------- *ticked*

Semester 2 (July - Nov 2009)

English Part B -------------------------- **

Mathematics Part B ------------------- **

Biology Part B -------------------------- **

Chemistry Part B ---------------------- **

Computer Science Part B ------------- **

Of course la, Part B sure will gonna be harder than Part A. =(

And, I think, ENGLISH PART B would be the hardest for all. SERIOUSLY. >.<

Research Project.

Presentations.

2 ORAL (wtf.)

Literature - Story book. (thank god no poems. but still, wtf.)

......

Argh. Felt so stress .!

After one whole month of holidays in June.

Today, I'm back to college.

Classes are starting tomorrow.

Today was just subject registering and meet back college mates.

Today was seriously had fun and tiring.

Morning wake up. 10.30am arrived pyramid.

Meet up, Ng Sall Lei, Vivian Tan, Chloe, Joe-Ee, Stefi, Yen Lin, Mandy, Ying ying, Jiun Jie, Darren Teo, and a Korean friend. ^^

Connie Wong Lai Ping. was suppose to come. However, still ffk at the wrong time. Some technical problem occured.

But its okay, our craziness in the college never lost because of your often ffk-ness. haha.

We had our lunch at TONY ROMAS.

Thanks all of you for treating me this such expensive lunch. thank you. ^^

All the pictures taken were to be tagged by others in Facebook.

YOU GUYS MADE MY DAY SERIOUSLY.

Especially the presence of Vivian Tan. hahaha. Eventhough she came not because of me. but still. happy.

After that, at 1pm, we all gonna rush back to college to get our subject registered. Why rush? Not late. Is to prevent the class from being fully register.

We spent almost 3 hours in the hall for briefing and choosing which class to register.

As you know, each subject have lots of classes.

Of course, we would choose to be same class as our friend from semester 1. So, we were all PANIC and RUSH to decide which class to register, before that particular class get fully registered.

Everybody was tiring because of whole day running throughout the hall to get each subject registered.

Thats all for the day.

Tomorrow, we would enter our class, following our time table. Starting Semester 2.

See you. ^^

p/s: you're special.
