JkDefrag counteract PageDefrag?

[kgrounded]

I run M$-Sysinternal's PageDefrag at each bootup.  (WinXP Pro, SP2, P4-2.8GHz, 760MB RAM.)  Usually it takes only a few seconds to complete the process.  However, after running JkDefrag, at next boot PageDefrag churns away for nearly 10 minutes.  This suggests to me that these two excellent programs may be working at cross-purposes; i.e., that JkDefrag is somehow undoing the work performed by PageDefrag.  Any thoughts?

I prefer to say that Pagedefrag is undoing the work performed by JkDefrag, but never mind that. Perhaps you can take a look at the JkDefrag logfile to see which files it could not process, and then configure PageDefrag to only do those files.

Hahahah

I never saw this problem. PageDefrag don't touch files unless they're fragmented, AFAIK.

Perhaps your paging file size "System Properties/Advanced/Performance-Settings/Advanced/Virtual memory-Change" settings are too small?

The only files pagedefrag touches are swap files, registry hives, event log files, and hibernate.sys types; allegedly, jkdefrag shouldn't have access to these to begin with <shrug>.

The Microsoft defragmentation API allows defragging of some of these files on Vista, lessening the need for the PageDefrag program. But Vista has introduced some new files, and now those cannot be defragged.

LOL, why does that not surprise me
