http://www.kessels.biz/JkDefrag/

JkDefrag is a disk defragmenter and optimizer for Windows
2000/2003/XP/Vista/2008/X64. Completely automatic and very easy to
use, fast, low overhead, with several optimization strategies, and can
handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that
looks like a disk to Windows. Included are a Windows version, a
commandline version (for scheduling by the task scheduler or for use
from administrator scripts), a screensaver version, a DLL library (for
use from programming languages), versions for Windows X64, and the
complete sources.

(needs a serial - throwaway emails work fine, if they are not
on the blocked list ... or, errr, you can use ollydbg, but that would
be cheating ...)
Description:
DriverMax is a new tool that allows you to download the latest
driver updates for your computer. No more searching for rare drivers
on discs or on the web or inserting one installation CD after the
other. Just create a free account, log in, and start downloading the
updates that you need.
You can also export all your current drivers (or just the ones
that work ok) to a folder or a compressed file. After reinstalling
Windows you will have everything in one place!
Most of the situations when Windows is running slower are
caused by faulty driver installations. Windows stores all versions of
older drivers just in case you want to go back; sometimes it messes up
older versions with more recent ones. The Export Wizard will only
export the drivers you select by copying the needed files to a folder
or a compressed ZIP file.
After reinstalling Windows all drivers will be back in place
in less than 5 minutes - sparing you of searching, inserting disc
after disk and losing precious time. The Import Drivers wizard allows
you to install all the drivers that you exported earlier. The entire
operation might take up to 5-10 minutes.
Just one single computer restart will be required after all
drivers are reinstalled!
DriverMax is able to display a complete report of all drivers
(versions, release dates) installed on your system. This feature can
also be very useful when you want to analyze the differences between
the drivers installed on different machines.
DriverMax only works on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP
and Windows 2003 (all service packs, both 32 bit and 64 bit versions).
Driver downloads are *only* available for Windows 7, Windows Vista and
Windows XP users.
