There are certain files that disk defragmenter will not defragment. The main
one on your list is system restore files. These don't need defragmenting
because they are replaced by new ones as your system creates new restore
points and older ones get deleted. Two other areas that are not defragmented
are the hibernation file (hiberfile.sys) and the paging file. If you use
hibernation you can get round this problem by disabling hibernation prior to
defrgamenting your drive. To defragment the paging file you need an
alternative defragmenter. Something like Perfect disk will do this, but it
is not free, i'm afraid.
