Somehow my defrag program was deleted,(I suspect my daughter was clicking the
mouse a little too enthusiastically!) How and where do I retrieve it off the
xp disk? Any help would be greatly appreciated as my already slow, older
machine is really starting to bog. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you answered me so quickly.I'm going to try and
see if this works now. Thanks again.
 
Okay, I tried it. It added something to my registry, but , where is the
defrag? It just isn't available . I have my xp disk handy, can I retrieve it
from there? Thanks again.
 
Perform the following:

1. Right-click on your Desktop and select: NEW > SHORTCUT
2. In the Create Shortcut window, type in: %SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc , and click "Next"
3. In the next window, type in: Disk Defragmenter , and click "Finish"
4. A Disk Defragmenter shortcut icon will appear on your Desktop.

Thank you very much. I'm not sure how my Disk Defragmenter disappeared, but
this sure helps.
