Move \Documents & Settings to beginning of partition

[Maleko]

hi. is there anyway to move this folder and all its contents (except temp folder) to the beginning of partition? reason for this is that my \doc and settings & program files folder are located on separated partition than \windows partition.

Well, I am not really sure this is going to be worth doing, but it is possible. Suppose you had your \Documents and Settings on drive D.

1) Run a commandline,

Code:

JkDefrag -f 0 -a 6 D:\* -e "D:\Documents and Settings\*"

and wait for it to terminate.
2) Run a second commandline,

Code:

JkDefrag -f 0 -a 3 "D:\Documents and Settings\*"

3) Preferably, run a third,

Code:

JkDefrag -f 0 -a 3 D:\*

Well, that's too much work, isn't it?

Jeroen the author of JkDefrag is now putting together its ver 4, which is to come with a scripting system to make micro-managed defragmentation possible.

I am looking so much forward to it!

Hi all

for Lexar 3rd step, dont forget 

Code:

-e "D:\Documents and Settings\*"

thanks Lexar & Myriades!

so the first command moves all the partition contents except \docs and settings to the end of the partition and the second one will defrag and move only \doc and settings folder to the beginning of the partition..and last step will defrag all files\folder but excluding \docs and settings folder which is already at the beginning of the partition...am i right?

nice..i guest that trick should work. *thumbs up*

if only there's command switch for this kind of defrag method where users can specify what files/folder should be moved to the beginning of drive..will you consider this jeroen?

I've forgotten something
For the second step, you could add

Code:

-u DisableDefaults

You should obtain something like that
docs & settings folders -> docs & settings -> folders -> regular files -> spacehog

Personnaly, i would not use the -f0 parameter. This to keep free space between zones. Then you obtain this
folders -> free space -> docs & settings -> regular files -> free space -> spacehog

if only there's command switch for this kind of defrag method where users can specify what files/folder should be moved to the beginning of drive..will you consider this jeroen?

Wait for V4, I presume
