Can't Find Disk Cleanup and Defrag anymore
When I go to start/all programs/accessories/tools
I no longer see the disk cleanup and defrag programs there. Can someone help me find them and get them back there again? I did install a program called SystemMechanic a few days ago which does have the ability to do those two things, and maybe it removed the original Microsoft ones, but that worries me a little.

So I guess something has gone wrong with the "start" function at the bottom left of the screen, because all I find when getting to "System Tools" by that route is one item, "Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)". Any Ideas Folks? I would guess that your installation of System-Mechanic changed your menus. You can still access those programs using your Start menu and the Run function: dfrg.msc cleanmgr.exe Then, your run menu will remember those programs so that you can access them again with Run and the arrow on the R to get previous programs you've run that way. -- Mike Easter |

I was temporarily shocked, shocked, into thinking they were gone forever. G Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) The speed of light is 1.8*10^12 furlongs per fortnight. |
