Defrag

[Daniel Louwrens]

For some reason I cannot find the Accessories program group in my start
menu, I probably dragged it into some other group.
Where is the .exe file for defrag held, I want to create a shortcut on my
desk top

thanks

Daniel

Try searching for the folder [Press Win Key+F]. If you find it then:-
Open explorer.
Go to: C:/Documents and Settings/Your user name/Start Menu/Programs.
Cut & paste the Accessories folder into the program one.


Right click on blank area of your desktop>New>Shortcut>type the location
of the item -%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc >next>give the name of the
shortcut>finish.
