Hi, I had read an article that stated it is not necessary
to defrag if using XP, as it automatically keeps

Try going a few weeks without defragging. Then open the defragmenter and run
an analysis on your disk. I'll bet you find a terribly fragmented disk.

Very false!

Where did you read this article. Someone needs to correct the author.
