Automated Disk Optimizer

chaos945 · February 27th, 2004

Here is my automated cleaning file, it has been made generic as possible but you must have Spybot and Regcleaner installed to make use of all the options.

Download Regcleaner
Download Spybot

If the installation path of Spybot or Regcleaner is other than 'C:\Program Files' you'll need to specify otherwise in the file. Also if you have other drives besides C:, D:, E:, F:, G:, H: that need to be defragmented you'll need to specify otherwise in the file as well. If you don't want to use my EXE file you must run config.bat to use the Windows Cleanmgr.

The source is as follows: OLD, new version below

Code:

@echo off
echo Performing Spybot Operations...Please Wait
C:\Progra~1\Spybot~1\SpybotSD.exe /autoupdate /autoimmunize /autocheck /autofix /autoclose
cls
echo Cleaning Disk...Please Wait

Bugs:
* Cleanmgr.exe sometimes hangs, to continue with the cleaning process just end its task in the task manager

Major update: added logic controls to the entire script.

It will let you know what is running and what was sucessfully ended.

More major changes:
* added interface!!!
* changed colours!!!!
* completly different logic
* if spybot or regclean is not found the download page opens itself
* added "**run all** option, only displays a summary at the end, then terminates on any key
* turned it back into just a BAT file no more EXE

I couldn't fit the entire source, but listed below is everything except the **run all** option.

**Geffy** · March 3rd, 2004

looking quite cool

**yoyo** · March 3rd, 2004

Nice work.

Just one question. Why did you include prefetch? Deleting the files in this folder defeats the purpose of prefetch.

**perris** · March 3rd, 2004

/agrees with yoyo , in both regards chaos...it is nice work, and also agrees with him about no benefit to deleating the prefetch contents

that "clear prefetch" is a counter productive tweak...personally, I don't think it should be done at all, but if at all, maybe once every couple of months at the most;

Windows XP speeds up system boot by observing the code and data needed each time the system is booted and prefetching the necessary file contents early in the boot process...it will also put this info on an optimum spot on the disk

it will then defrag the prefetch info.

now, does deleting this folder still make sense?...optimization on disc will have to begin all over again when this file is deleted

my operating systems are definately faster a couple of months into the install then the beginning, and prefetch is one of the reasons

I'll tell you what is an excellant item to include;

Code:

%windir%\Prefetch\Layout.ini

in cmd or run will perform this native "disc optimization" all at once.

this usually doesn't happen but for once every three days, so this item would be nice in your file

be advised however, the disc optimizations in xp do not cross volume, so though the do some good on partitioned drives, for the most part, your applications need to be on "c" in order to get full benenfit.

this is the main reason some people do not notice a gain with prefetch enabled

but ya chaos really nice job

chaos945 · March 3rd, 2004

Thanks for the input all, I think I'll be figuring out a different programming language pretty quick here to make a nice easy interface.

I did some minor improvements, but I wasn't exactly sure how to implement that Layout.ini function.
*interface revisions
*spelling revisions
*main menu's logic and response to errors
*removed prefetch in options 3 + 6

**Dark Atheist** · March 7th, 2004

nice tool found it and used it this morn - saves me clicking here there and everywhere to run the same progs, one little suggestion/idear - how about adding adaware to the list - if its possible that is?

Have already sent it to a few friends and they v happy with it also

chaos945 · April 2nd, 2004

I decided the script was getting a bit bloated so I dumbed the entire thing back down to what it was supposed to be in the first place, an easy way to automatically run the disk services I wanted.

All directories are defaulted to the %systemdrive% that would be 'C:' in most people's cases. Instead of making the entire thing one big script, I broke each program up into it's own module that can be removed or added to. I've also added documentation to the modules so anyone can easlity add functinality to the scripts, ie, more drives cleaned/defraged, or adding custom modules.

New version:
* Installer/Uninstaller
* New Interface
* added Adware support
* defrag only defrags 'C:' (unless otherwise specifed)
* adware only scans 'C:' (unless otherwise specifed)

chaos945 · April 13th, 2004

This is going to be the last release for a while. There are very few bugs left, even as picky as I am. Read the official ‘Read Me’ file in the package for more documentation. It was quite an interesting development, but I’m glad it’s finally coming to an end, and am quite happy with the final result. Thank you for your support.

Features (tested only on the listed version, may or may not work on others):

Installer/Uninstaller
Adware 6 – ‘Ad-Aware.EXE "<mounteddrive>:\" +a +s +1’
Regcleaner 4.3 – ‘RegCleanr.exe /Automatic Cleanup Mode’
Spybot 1.3 beta 6 – ‘SpybotSD.exe /autoimmunize /autocheck /autofix /autoclose’
( /autoupdate will be added when 1.3 comes out, it is buggy in the beta still)
Windows Clean Manager – ‘cleanmgr.exe /sageset:n’, ‘cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:n’
Windows Defragmenter – ‘defrag <mounteddrive>’
DIRMS – ‘DIRMS <mounteddrive> compact defrag’

Added in this version:

Revised installer package, misc things, startup shortcut, run after install…etc
Revised documentation, most of it is in the Read Me
Spybot does not need a install path, it will find itself
DIRMS module added
To make things a bit easier for those not as familiar with batch scripting ‘paths.bat’ has been added. Just modify the path for Adware and Regcleaner if it is not on the %systemdrive%, which is ‘C:\’ for most of you
All modules and misc scripts have been cleaned up, the documentation is under REMs
The DIRMS, defragmenter and ad-ware modules will find any available drives and defrag/cleanup them all

Known Bugs:

Adware and Regcleaner will not find themselves if they are not on the %systemdrive% they will not work on a different path unless the paths.bat file is modified
‘Error: Invalid key name’, this happens after the reg key for disabling file compression already has been deleted, nothing has gone wrong.
Spybot does not like you having Ad-ware installed, it will actually warn you itself, if you want to remove one or the other from the routine just move the module into the DISABLED folder

Thank you for your support. Features (tested only on the listed version, may or may not work on others): Installer/Uninstaller Adware 6 – ‘Ad-Aware.EXE "<mounteddrive>:\" +a +s +1’ Regcleaner 4.3 – ‘RegCleanr.exe /Automatic Cleanup Mode’ Spybot 1.3 beta 6 – ‘SpybotSD.exe /autoimmunize /autocheck /autofix /autoclose’ ( /autoupdate will be added when 1.3 comes out, it is buggy in the beta still) Windows Clean Manager – ‘cleanmgr.exe /sageset:n’, ‘cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:n’ Windows Defragmenter – ‘defrag <mounteddrive>’ DIRMS – ‘DIRMS <mounteddrive> compact defrag’ Added in this version: Revised installer package, misc things, startup shortcut, run after install…etc Revised documentation, most of it is in the Read Me Spybot does not need a install path, it will find itself DIRMS module added To make things a bit easier for those not as familiar with batch scripting ‘paths.bat’ has been added. Just modify the path for Adware and Regcleaner if it is not on the %systemdrive%, which is ‘C:\’ for most of you All modules and misc scripts have been cleaned up, the documentation is under REMs The DIRMS, defragmenter and ad-ware modules will find any available drives and defrag/cleanup them all Known Bugs: Adware and Regcleaner will not find themselves if they are not on the %systemdrive% they will not work on a different path unless the paths.bat file is modified ‘Error: Invalid key name’, this happens after the reg key for disabling file compression already has been deleted, nothing has gone wrong. Spybot does not like you having Ad-ware installed, it will actually warn you itself, if you want to remove one or the other from the routine just move the module into the DISABLED folder

I did some minor improvements, but I wasn't exactly sure how to implement that Layout.ini function. interface revisions spelling revisions main menu's logic and response to errors removed prefetch in options 3 + 6
