There are two known applications that are associated with the executable df.exe file. The first one is Defraggler, software that is provided by Piriform. Defraggler is an application that is designed for Windows systems. The file enables the user to defrag separate files and folders, instead of the usual hard drive defragmenting process. Defragging can free up valuable space on your hard drives which can boost CPU speed. You can also use the df.exe file to defrag your RAID drives. The process however, is not capable of defragging all your system drives simultaneously; which means you have to defrag files, folders and drives one at a time. File size of its latest version is 3,615 KB. The other process that is linked to the df.exe file is Direct Folders. This one is from the Direct Folder software by Code Sector. The main function of the file is to provide users with an application that will allow them to quickly access their most recently-viewed files or folders, and also to the files and folders that they have included in their Favorites list. You can access the list of files by double-clicking on an empty spot on your desktop, and the list will be automatically generated. Click on the file that you want to see and the window for the file will be instantly shown.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. df.exe. is used by Defraggler/Direct Folders, If you shut down df.exe, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop df.exe, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is Defraggler/Direct Folders, from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.
