My opinion, I would suggest using Microsofts utilities.....never looked for any other program to use

I use O&O defrag & find it very good, the main feature I use is the fire & forget option. It basically runs automatically whenever it detects that your disk is getting fragmented :)

Do any of these programs remove the Windows pagefile (swapfile) before defragmenting?

Firstly, defragmenting junk/temp files like Temporary Internet Files (often about 500 MB), index.dat files, etc. is a waste of time, and your disk should be cleaned up before disk defrag?

Secondly these files prevent other files to be defragmented optimally. So unless these prgrams offer this feature I feel it wouldn't be worth the effort.
