O&O Defrag - 18
Defragmenting individual files and folder
You can also defragment individual files and folders. Just right-click the folder or file you want and select Defragment.
O&O Defrag will be opened and the defragmentation begins. Defragmentation of smaller amounts of data is often com-
pleted within just a few seconds.

Selecting a defragmentation method
O&O Defrag provides three methods for defragmenting a hard disk divided into zones. The choice of methods appears
whenever you open the lower menu of the Start button.
Note: If you have explicitly disabled zone filing, you will only have the methods of the previous versions available.
An explanation of this can be read in the chapter on Standard defragmentation methods.
Default sorting (can be customized by the user, see Zone filing):
l Zone 1 (operating system and installed programs) - sorted by file name
l Zone 2 (user data and settings) - sorted by date of last access
l Zone 3 (seldom used and large files) - Files consolidated to get the most contiguous free space
