The general screen covers the basics of JkDefrag
* Action - Use the pull down menu to select an action, which suits your situation the best.
* Debug level - Use the pull down menu to select the debug level jkdefrag is using in the logfile.
* Disk - You can select a disk of your choice or use the checkbox to select of fixed disks. JkDefrag support defragging other disks then fixed disks but this is disabled by default in the GUI. You can change the devices to check by changing an option in the devices section of the options tab.
* Speed - It is possible to slow down JkDefrag so it will use less system resources. Normal speed has a value of 100 and is the default.
* Free space - Set the size of the free spaces to N percent (0...100) of the size of the volume. The free spaces are room on disk for temporary files. There are 2 free spaces, between the 3 zones (directories, regular files, space hogs). Default is 1% (per free space).
The advanced tab handles to more advanced things which can be done by JkDefrag.
* Include - Files and/or directories that match the mask will only be defragged instead of the disks selection on the general tab. It is possible to add a disk to the include option. Use wildcards '*' and '?' in the mask to match a set of files or directories. Some examples: "*.avi","*\w3svc*\*.log","d:\mysql\data\*"
* Exclude - Files and/or directories that match the mask will not be defragged and will not be moved. Use wildcards '*' and '?' in the mask to match a set of files or directories. Some examples: "*.avi","*\w3svc*\*.log","d:\mysql\data\*"
* Move these files to the end (Spacehogs) - Files that match a mask will be moved to the Spacehogs area. The program has a build-in list for all files bigger than 50 megabytes, files not accessed in the last month, archives, files in the recycler bin, service pack files, and some others.
* Use logfle - When the checkbox is empty there won't be a logfile created with the information about the defragmentation. The logfile is stored in the tempfolder by default. This can be changed by the select button.
* Place logfile in same folder as GUI - This option will save the logfile in the same folder as where JkDefragGUI is placed. This will disable the select button
