Description
### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
The original Windows Explorer provides a way by the Properties menu on a drive to open the "Defragmentation and Optimization" tool. Files is (as far as I can see) unable to open that tool because it's not integrated (yet).
Since it'd be a simple context menu entry (or Properties menu tab) just linking to the `dfrgui.exe` laying in `%WinDir%\System32` it could be done quick and shouldn't break much.
### Requirements
- Discussing where the entry should be placed, either in only one place (context menu or Properties Menu w/ a new tab, or in both places)
- Implementing the feature according to the approved spec
- Testing if it works
### Files Version
4.0.0.0
### Windows Version
10.0.26120.5761
### Comments
I implemented a quick working mockup [in a branch of mine](https://github.com/Zagrthos/Files/commit/07dc6487284b04ff0ff66b9b801186b5e514a9f7) to show how it could look when it's implemented into the context menu (and to familiarize myself w/ the codebase a little):
