Overview
The most used version is 2.18, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The main program executable is defraggler.exe. The software installer includes 83 files and is usually about 10.53 MB (11,043,064 bytes).
