Thanks everyone. I am not having any problem with my system but I like
defragging my disk every month. I have been using auslogic for the job
but now I want to uninstall all unnecessary software form my system to
boost its speed. So I was wondering whether windows built-in defrag
can do the job for me.

"I want to uninstall all unnecessary software form my system to boost its
speed" - that's not going to help, unless:

1) the software is set to run at Windows' start-up and consumes resources
or
2) you're REALLY down to close-to-zero free space and getting warnings from
Windows about that

Or, circuitously, if you're low on free space and XP's defragmenter can't
start/complete properly, then removing enough unnecessary software might
free up enough space to let it run and thereby improve performance - but I
don't think that's really what you're after.

There are far more worthwhile things to look into to improve speed - check
through this group for previous posts with guidance on that.

Nothing like 1 or 2 but I do a lot of numerical computing using
MATLAB. So I want my PC to be at its best. Last time I installed
webshots and system slowed down a little. Office 2007 also slowed down
the system. So I try to minimize the use of fancy software.
