Now, in explorer, go to the folder where the culprit files are kept. You will get the location from the file you saved in step 1. Bring up the command prompt shell, and by using the 'up' arrow, get the previous command. Type -v beside that, with space on either side. From explorer drag the first of the culprit files on to the command prompt shell, such that it appears as "c If you have done the dragging and dropping right, you will see contig is doing something.

Just ask contig to recursively defragment files it finds in the folder in-situ. Following files are the usual culprits in terms of getting fragmented : Video files, image files, large zip files, lotus notes. I take no liability if any loss is incurred in doing above steps.
