The windows defrag does an excellent job if you are defraging the whole partition. If you just want to defrag core system files than some third party applications can do just that.

Hi, I like to defrag my hard drive like every half week so I was wondering what the best program for it would be?

Windows Default is good enough.

The Windows program is actually excellent. Come to think of it, you just reminded me to defrag my HDD.

I personally use MyDefrag on every machine and rig I build. They also have a few scripts in MyDefrag to run weekly, monthly, or daily. I haven't used the weekly or daily I normally just set up the monthly and let it go.

I'm currently using Smart Defrag from IObit. Moved away from defraggler because it was really slow.
