    Hi... using UltraDefrag 6.1.1. on Win XP Pro SP3 PC, 75GB NTFS HDD... trying to defrag at boot, enabled in the settings (Settings > Boot time scan> Enable F11 is checked), and the Script reads:

    @echo
    
    set UD_IN_FILTER=*windows*;*winnt*;*ntuser*;*pagefile.sys;*hiberfil.sys
    set UD_EX_FILTER=*temp*;*tmp*;*dllcache*;*ServicePackFiles*
    
    udefrag %SystemDrive%
    
    boot-off
    
    exit
    

    So I restart the PC, see the UD dialog in the startup, but ithe process goes much quicker than expected (about 60 seconds) and then boots into Windows. When analyzing in UD, the the drive still shows significant scattered free space and fragmentation (about 20%).

    What would be the best settings and procedure to do full defrag and free space compression at boot?

    I think you have to try the following script instead of the default one:

    @echo
    
    udefrag -o %SystemDrive%
    
    boot-off
    
    exit
    

    The -o switch will turn on the full optimization which will optimize everything. To speed up the processing I'd recommend to replace it by -q for subsequent runs.

    More information can be found in the handbook at http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/handbook/
