Jargon Buster
Windows Disk Defragmenter is a computer program included in Microsoft Windows designed to increase access speed (and sometimes increase the amount of usable space) by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, or defragmenting. The purpose is to optimize the time it takes to read and write files to/from the disk by minimizing head travel time and maximizing the transfer rate.

Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 include a stripped-down licensed version of Diskeeper Corporation's (formerly Executive Software's) Diskeeper. Windows XP additionally shipped with a command line Defrag.exe utility.

The techniques used by the Disk Defragmenter are as follows:

• Moving all the index or directory information to one spot. Moving this spot into the center of the data, i.e. one third of the way in, so that average head travel to data is halved compared to having directory information at the front.
• Moving infrequently used files further from the directory area.
• Obeying a user provided table of file descriptions to emphasize or ignore.
• Making files contiguous so that they can be read without unnecessary seeking.
