Appreciate the responses -
My current interest in defrag comes mostly from system slowness, but I
have
improved that by doing two consecutive defrags using JKDefrag. I am also
disappointed in the defrag program which came bundled with Win Xp on this
machine [Lenovo laptop R61e] now about 4 months old]
At the suggestion of Gerry, here is the report of the analysis done this
a.m. - the machine is running pretty well, the last defrag was day
before
yesterday - I have entered some text material since last defrag, but not
much, been on the web very little, so the machine has not had an a big
opportunity to get constipated again. Jay

Jay said:
I ask to be tolerated for 2 follow-up questions on the subject of
defragging, namely: [1] One of the earlier responses re defragging
several
times in sequence seems to recommend running a registry-cleaning program.
I
have seen a lot of advice against such unless you know what you are
doing-
and I would appreciate comments on this point [2] Assuming that there
are
third party defragging programs, [which I didn't know before] would
anyone
care to recommend one ?
I find this forum especially useful , and appreciate the help that
I
find here - TIA -Jay
