Nice easy question guys

All im after is a decent defragging program that will also defrage the page file, ive used defraggler a lot which is ok but wont touch the page file.

Many thanks

EDIT: I used to use System mechanic which was ok at it, but was expensive

PerfectDisk does it, but it's not free.

Diskeeper does this (it's not free also), or
disable page file, restart computer, delete C:\pagefile.sys, defragment drive C:, enable page file again.

Go to the page file settings and select custom size. Make the initial size the same as the maximum size. Then your page file will never become fragmented in the first place.

By default windows *should* delete it, but to be sure, either enable "show hidden files" and "show system files" under folder options and watch whats inside drive C: or
run this on a console window (with admin rights): del C:\pagefile.sys
Also follow Polaris573 advice after.
