Fragmented items tab

This tab shows the list of all the fragmented items found during the analyzing process. The number of listed items is displayed next to the tab label. The Search box at the bottom of the tab allows you to find a specific fragmented item or set of fragmented items. The display of the Search box and the display of the number of listed items can be toggled in the settings of WinContig.

When an item is double-clicked, WinContig opens the item by using its associated application. You can change this behavior in the settings of WinContig.

Click the right mouse button on an item to show a shortcut menu from which you can access various actions to execute.

Change which columns are displayed in the list

By default, WinContig displays all of the available columns in the list. You can rearrange the order of columns by dragging a column horizontally to the position that you want.

To change which columns are displayed in the list, follow these steps:


  1. Click the right mouse button on any of the column headings to show the column heading context menu.


  2. Select or deselect the column that you want to display or hide in the context menu.

    Select the Default menu item to display the default columns in the default order and with the default widths.
