On the same Defrag note, I use Diskeeper and it allows you to schedule
defrags so you don't forget them (unlike Win2000) I schedule mine every
night about 1:00am, works great, never had a problem. One less thing to
think about. (Diskeeper created the defrag utility built into Win2000-
that's what they told me anyway)
