Keep it real quiet, but I suspect she's not using Windows defrag. The Windows defrag utility doesn't normally report defrag status for System Files that it knows it's not supposed to defrag. People who think they have to have extra goodies to "do it better" cause themselves all kinds of fuss and bother when their super defrangulators and mangulators tell them things they don't really need to know. And occasionally they get a superaddonicator that actually does something that the built in Windows utilities would know not to do, and then they have to rebuild their whole system, cause they've been so busy using "superdooperwhooper utilities" they never learned that Windows knows how to fix itself if they'd just leave it alone.

OF course that really only applies totally to WinXP, and I'm only guessing whether that's what's happening here.

How do you do that big grinnnn sign???
