do note that the defrag program in Norton is 'different' than the one given to you with Windows....and there is a lot of discussion in various forums lately about the defrag utility from Windows ME being a significant improvement!--so much so that you are finding copies of it being 'made available'(if you do a Google search in Usenet, you can explore this). I downloaded it, substituted it for the 'old' defrag program in WIN 98, and it seemed to do a good job, Whether it is better than Norton's, I cant say yet, as each defrag is a bit different...I feel ok using either Norton's or Windows'...maybe I'll pick one after a few more tests.
