I would suggest "not" using the WinME defragging utility on a WinXP
box, especially if XP is formatted NTFS, as the ME defrag utility has
no clue how to handle it as it (ME defragger) was written for FAT12,
FAT16 and FAT32 formats. You may or shall I say, most likely end up
with a "garbage" partition or drive, providing you can even get it to
run.

nothing at all - does a good job - don't bother with 3rd party defraggers -
where you may gain an inch of HD speed - you will loose other resources.
Memory, CPU usage etc - slows you down

Diskeeper 9 has a very intelligent background engine. Before you assume it
slows things down, you want to read the white paper on the Executive
Software site. It is a very light application. It has some tools and
analyzers that make it worth the $20 to me.
