defragment tools
basically, you can spend
a lot of time defragging files, but they quickly become fragmented again. there are some defrag freeware that appear to defrag, but in reality they do not because the are simply spywares. this one is free and it does a good job: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/article/defraghd.htm -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º "Mingo" wrote in message ...

If you would like one that runs in the background, see: www.diskeeper.com Beware. Diskeeper looks on the face of it to be a good product. Two criticisms. If you switch off the automatic defragmentation tool, you find that whenever you analyse your disk, Diskeeper tells you that your disk is severely fragmented even if you last defragged it a few days before. Which surely can't be right. Second, I ran Diskeeper defragmenter whilst running Turnpike Mail (I suppose hardly anyone uses that). That turned out to be a catastrophic mistake. My hard disk became unbootable, showing numerous disk errors most of which Scandisk couldn't fix, and in the end I had to reinstall XP and all my programs. |

Google for and try using CCleaner and Defraggler . |

I don't and never have used Turnpike Mail, sorry to hear that. Yet it's another example of why backups/images are of the upmost importance to any PC user. -- Brian A.
