Bat file creation:
@echo off
for %%F in (*.gcf) do "HLExtract.exe" -f -p "%%F"
pause



-----------------------------------------...

I just used it and it works 100% better than the built in steam defrag bullsht. The past few months with all the steam updates, it has taken me forever to load up steam. Some of my friends have the same problem and some of them don't. So I guess its a hit and miss. If you google this problem many threads of people come up so I hope this helps them out.
try it out guys see what you think..

thats what i thought and did air_cav, but it still was slow

Bacender, creator of the program wrote this on youtube

"The Steam defragging utility is broken. It will report full optimization, even though a large number of fragmented files remain in the GCF. The method that i explain in this video does a full defrag that does not skip on any files"

I believe you can simply defrag these with gcfscape from the same site

That will explain what HLExtract.exe does. The batch file states that any file that contains "F" in all files that end in ".gcf" should have HLExtract run. I don't even need to try this to back up my statement.
