                                   DEFRAG
 
Reorganizes the files on a disk to optimize disk performance. Do not use
this command when Windows is running.
 
Syntax
    DEFRAG [drive:] [/F] [/S[:]order] [/B] [/SKIPHIGH] [/LCD | /BW | /G0]
    [/H]
 
    DEFRAG [drive:] [/U] [/B] [/SKIPHIGH] [/LCD | /BW | /G0] [/H]
 
Parameter
 
drive:
    Specifies the drive that contains the disk you want to optimize.
 
Switches
 
/F
    Defragments files and ensures that the disk contains no empty spaces
    between files.
 
/U
    Defragments files and leaves empty spaces, if any, between files.
 
/S
    Controls how the files are sorted in their directories. If you omit this
    switch, DEFRAG uses the current order on the disk. The colon (:) is
    optional. The following list describes each of the values you can use to
    sort files. Use any combination of the values, and do not separate these
    values with spaces.
 
    N
        In alphabetic order by name
 
    N-
        In reverse alphabetic order by name (Z through A)
