- Pagedefrag
by Microsoft TechNet (formerly Sysinternals)
- Paging files and registry hives cannot be defragmented on a running
system. This sweet little utility will automatically defragment those files when
the system is booting.
The counterpart of this utility is "Contig", a small defragger for use on
a running system, but my defragger is far superior.
- HD Tune
- Measure your harddisk and discover how much faster it is at the beginning than at
the end. Can also monitor the temperature of your harddisk and scan for surface errors.
- Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
- A free collection of tools from Microsoft. Amongst other things it contains
a "sleep.exe" utility that could be used to make a little .bat file to delay-start
MyDefrag when booting the computer.

- Handy utility for network administrators that can be used on a central computer
to upload to and run MyDefrag on remote computers.
- SDelete
by Microsoft TechNet (formerly Sysinternals)
- A small free utility that (amongst other things) can be used to wipe free space
on disk by writing zero's. This is useful in combination with optimization when making
compressed disk images. SDelete can be called from a MyDefrag script with the
RunProgram action.
