Defrag and Diskeeper

[Wm.M.Thompson]

Does Diskeeper provide the default defragmentation software for
Microsoft XP? If so, is there a way to replace it if someone does not
want to deal with Diskeeper and their product?

Does Diskeeper provide the default defragmentation software for
Microsoft XP?

Yes. Its a crippled version of the retail version.

If so, is there a way to replace it if someone does not
want to deal with Diskeeper and their product?

Yes. Buy your choice of defragmentation tool appropriate for the XP
environment, and install it. Diskeeper retail does much better job, and has
better graphic representation of the partition you're defragmenting. It not
only has its own desktop selection, it also replaces defragmenter under
system tools when selecting that. The retail version pops up when selecting
that. PerfectDisk is similar.
