Please help! Optimizing a hard drive with large game files.

[Razum]

Hello! I am a new user of JkDefrag and have a question:

Objective: What is the best command line to use on my gaming hard drive?

On C:\ I have two large games installed along with Windows XP. One game directory (team fortress 2) is around 7 gigs and the other game (Age of Conan) is 30gigs.

Problem: From what I understand about this program option -a 7 will put all files above 50megs into the spacehogs section. I do NOT want it to put my large game files into the spacehogs section. I don't care if it puts the large windows files into the spacehogs section, just not my game files.

Question: How do I stop it from putting files over 50megs into the spacehogs section? What would be the command line to do this? Can I tell jkdefrag to NOT sort to spacehogs within a certain directory? For instance one of the game directories is C:\Program Files\steam

I know you can use the -u "DisableDefaults" line but that disables it for the whole drive. I want to defragment these large game directories to increase performance overall and to keep the game files together, so option -e will not work either.

Please let me know! Thanks for any help and have a good day!

After reading through the forums more I came across this post by pappukanghi:

After doing some research on the forums it looks like it will be hard to do what I mentioned above until version 4 comes out.
Until then I am going to use pappukanghi's batch file and list and see how it works for me. It looks like it does what I am looking for. Hopefully =)

Though if anyone still has any suggestions please feel free to reply. JkDefrag is awesome!

You have found the answer already, I'm just chiming in to confirm. There is no option to disable the 50 megabyte spacehogs criterium. Besides the options that you have found already there is one other option that you might try: just use JkDefrag as designed and let the 50+ mb files be placed in the spacehogs section. I think you will find it is just as fast as any of the other options, if not faster.
