Change the way Windows XP Defrags

[Raistlfiren]

Hey I was wondering if I could change the way my Windows XP system defrags. You know how in Windows 98 they have boxes that go across the screen in the defrager? I was wondering, if I could do that for Windows XP. Can I do that, and if I can,how?

No, its a totally different defragmenting tool and a different file system from fat to nt..

Awww, darn... I liked to look at the boxes, this type of defrag is so boring. Is there a way to change it though? Can I get a defrager that has the boxes in it, or will it not work as good as the one that comes with Windows XP?

There are plenty to look at on the third party market here http://windows.about.com/cs/defragmentutils/. I have used diskeeper lite and it is identical so dont bother on that one..

Hey,
I wasn't able to check out this prodct because it said I had to register everything. The product is called O&O Disk Defragger and you can get it from here: http://windows.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsit...ood2000net.html Check it out and see how it is. I will check it out, but do not have much time.

I would take a look at this program also. It is called SharEnum from here: http://windows.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsit...agedefrag.shtml. This doesnt have to do with a defragger, but an adminstarative account can scan shared files and check their security. Another file that is located in that area is called Autorun. This program shows you all of your strt-up programs (similiar to msconfig).
