How To Use Sysinternals Contig.exe
Hi Ian:
I have always found it in the listed file string after reboot. The file is always the same size 1,032kb. Also apparently when it is rebuilt the file is fragmented for whatever reason, as Windows Defrag cannot currently Defrag this file on my laptop. I have a Sony desktop running XP Pro SP3 with this file and have no problems with Windows Defrag running through to completion, but my Toshiba laptop XP Home SP3 will not run through the Defrag to completion. I have fixed this problem once or twice before, but I never really found exactly what allowed me to run Windows Defrag to completion sometimes while other times not. If I ever update Java to a new edition I always normally have this Defrag problem with either of the computers. Maybe you have an answer? ColTom2 P.S. I appreciate your info about this file that you sent. "Ian D" wrote in message ... "ColTom2" wrote in message ...
