Does Defraggler do it for the page file?

[Aethec]

No.
On XP you can defrag it using PageDefrag.

I think Auslogics Disk Defrag does it.

Sysinternals PageDefrag certainly does.

perfect disk will do it and it it also defrags the MTF files..... but it is a pay program after 30 days

You can also set the pagefile size to zero, reboot, defrag (freespace), set pagefile to a fixed size. Then it will be in one piece and will not get fragmented any more.

Yes i know already friends. Sysinternals had explained how to do it on their former website before they were swallowed by microsoft. I'm lucky I had offlined their web site before they gone off. I know the technics but do ccleaner developers aware of these?

Is that different to what's on the current sysinternals site from the link in the post above??

Here's how I 'defrag' the page file using Defraggler;

1) Turn off the page file
2) Reset PC
3) Delete pagefile.sys
4) Defrag the drive using Defraggler
5) Turn on the page file, setting an appropriate size value

In step 5, provided you have enough freespace, Windows will create a new contiguous page file of the size you specified. Walla.
