Enhanced Defraggler Shell 1.0

defragmentation, defragment, shell, defraggler, context menu, explorer, defrag, piriform

Ever heard of this cool defragmentation tool called Defraggler? It's made by guys at Piriform.
You can grab it here.

Now to the point...
This is an explorer shell context menu feature for Defraggler. So each time you click on some file, folder or drive icon, there will be "Defragment with Defraggler" option. Defragmenting your data has never been so easy!

How to use?
Install Piriform Defraggler first and then run my tool and just follow the instructions given by program.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR VISTA USERS:
You have to either disable UAC (not recommended) or manually set df.exe to ask user for administrator rights.
You can do this by right-clicking on df.exe file. Select Properties and then enable "Run this program as an administrator" under Compatibility tab. Not doing so will result in Defraggler failing to do it's job under Vista.

IMO Contig and JkDefrag deserve a far more this kind of tool than Defraggler...
Without not deserve your work off course!

JkDefrag works in a different way. Contig on the other hand already has some attention with my Power Defragmenter (version 3.0 just released).
I also have plans for context menu feature but nothing for now.

With parameter -2 (only defrag) JkDefrag can to be used in context menu also - I don't thinking others parameters about.

As of now i'm not crediting "original author" anymore.
The way how arrogantly he responded, i have no intention of crediting him anymore. I've erased the credit from this blog entry and will also remove his name from the program itself next time i update this tool.

Besides, i haven't stolen anything from him, just took the idea and implemented it in a much better way. My good intention was to help Defraggler users, but if he doesn't want that, fine. I couldn't care less and i just feel sorry for him and his Jupiter sized ego.

That sounds like you stole it after all. Did you get his permission to use his code ?

rejzor # 3. September 2008, 22:43

His code? There is no "his" code. There is just bunch of static reg files anyone can make or "steal" from someone else (and his was buggy anyway, not taking 64bit OS into consideration plus not mentioning the Vista UAC issue). Obviously i did the testing part...
Was tabs browsing stolen from Opera? Yet all today's browsers use it.
I don't remember any lawsuits...

He made those reg files, i took the basic idea and upgraded it beyond and offered it to Defraggler users. He just couldn't handle the fact it was actually better than his work, i guess. If anyone does it better than me, that's even better for other users. Isn't that the whole point of software development?

To allow users to use a easy-to-use / user-friendly app. than something that there is yet isn't to steal - it is welcomed to the users!

Like CCleaner didn't steal Microsoft'DiskClean-up feature. It improved such feature to the common user.

To deny users to know a improved feature like "Enhanced Defraggler Shell" - it's to steal a chance and info to the users. This is what the CCleaner forum'moderators does with this app. - and they do that with a complete silence, erasing any post about... Like a thief...

very cool - i like defraggler, it is a very good and powerfull defragmenter and grows better from Version to Version. I already have the possibility to dfrag files with contig per explorer contextmenu, but to do this with defraggler now is very cool.
Thx for this cool installer, that sets the registryentries for the contextmenu-that allow to use defraggler from contextmenu

rejzor # 20. September 2008, 17:23

Best thing is that you don't have to edit reg files by hand and import them, this installer like tool can do that on the fly in few clicks.
Same for complete removal of this feature.

Thanks for your Enhanced Defraggler Shell

Instead of auto mode (scan) during installation,
you could look if this reg key exists.
if yes, then df.exe should be easy to find...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\defraggler.exe

rejzor # 7. October 2008, 04:20

I'll look into it. I was probbably thinking about this option but haven't implimented it later.

It'll probably be like this order:
- registry check
- auto scan
- manual select
