[center]What is Dirms?
Dirms stands for Do It Right Microsoft. Dirms is a command line hard drive defragmenter, it has no bulky gui and runs in the background with no interfence at all. It makes a much better job then any other defragmenter i've seen but so many people have not heard of this. You have now!

How to Use
Dirms is easier than i thought it would be.
Simply download the exe file and place it into the root of the c:\ drive.
1 : Start - Run - Type "cmd" without quotes.
2 : Now type "cd c:\" That changes our directory to the c drive.
3 : The help file for dirms can be found by typing this command "dirms /?"
4 : To defragment my c drive I would type the following "dirms c -q" Press enter and watch it go.
The -q switch means to move the file fast. Well thats my guide on dirms. Other switches and functions can be found with dirms /? I hope you love the big performance gain at the end, I certainly did!

CODE
dirms <drive letter> [DEFRAG, COMPACT, COMFRAG <filename>, MOVE] [-q]
[COMFRAG PARAMS = filename]
[MOVE PARAMS = LCN, DATE]
-q means do it quickly, don't wait until the free space bitmap is updated.
BLUE - the command Black - the explanation
dirms c -q : Do free space evaluation, defragment, and quickly move files to the front of the drive
dirms c DEFRAG -q : Defragment files only
dirms c CoMpAcT -q : C ompact only
dirms c COMFRAG -q : Perform partial compaction (quickly) on all fragmented files
dirms c COMFRAG c:\filename.exe : Perform partial compaction on one file
dirms c move date -q : Move files according to modification dates, and do it quickly
dirms c move lcn : Try to free space at the bottom of the drive (moves files toward the front of the drive)
[COMFRAG PARAMS = filename]
[MOVE PARAMS = LCN, DATE]

Every feature or "mode" of any software application has its pros and cons; there must be some pros to this slow mode that the fast mode doesn't have... What are they?
