how can i exlude 1 or more files or folders?

You don't want MyDefrag to move the MFT and folders?
You can either do this by excluding them:

Code:

ExcludeFiles( SelectNtfsSystemFiles(yes)
  or Directory(yes) )

or (since these are processed first in the script) you can remove everything between FileActions and FileEnd.

i create a script and i don't want (when i use this script) that my defrag moves my mft / folder and boot files
and for the file used to boot (prefecht? ) how can i esclude them

[Darlis]

The boot files are listed in the NTOSBOOT*.pf prefetch file:

Code:

ExcludeFiles( SelectNtfsSystemFiles(yes)
  or Directory(yes)
  or ImportListFromProgramHints("NTOSBOOT*.pf")

Code:

ExcludeFiles( SelectNtfsSystemFiles(yes)
  or Directory(yes)
  or ImportListFromProgramHints("NTOSBOOT*.pf")

maybe i did not understand
i used a your script , to optimaze the boot files of w7 , to boot more fast
(in short is a feature of xp , vista and w7 , and i'm sure you know it)
i would like to create a new script that does not move (exclude) these files optimazed

thanks
cheers

[Darlis]

Do you mean you don't want to move them at all or not move them if they are already optimized?

The feature you mean is Prefetch (or Superfetch in Vista/7) and it includes more files than just the boot files (as default). You can select all of these files with ImportListFromBootOptimize().

well good question

 exclude them , in short don't want to move at all

may i ask a question ?
is there a way that mydefrag can detect if they are already optimized?


thanks !
cheers

[Darlis]

exclude them , in short don't want to move at all

Then this is what you need:

Code:

ExcludeFiles( SelectNtfsSystemFiles(yes)
  or Directory(yes)
  or ImportListFromBootOptimize() )

is there a way that mydefrag can detect if they are already optimized?

Yes and no. It depends on what you have in the FileAction. If, for example, you have FastFill with the WithShuffling option and there is a gap somewhere inside the zone, then MyDefrag will shuffle the files above this gap. Without the option, it will consider the zone as optimized.
The same applies to the sorting actions. But there is a SkipBlock option that will skip most files if they are already sorted.
