Hi Cristy, I have a free program called Start Cop, I have a shortcut to it on my desk top. When I go to defrag once a week I click the Start Cop and stop everything then I turn off my DSL modem, I don't know if I have to do that or not but my firewall and antivirus is off. Then run defrag on my C drive the other drives will defrag while I read mail and things as lone as I don't use a program that is on one of the drives. I will send you the Start Cop if you want it. I found it on line at http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2C4149%2C2173%2C00.asp Yours Hank ----- Original Message ----- From: "cristy" <poppy0206@xxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 5:24 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Scan Disc or Defrag. ???? Speaking of which, I am do to run scan disk and defrag. Last time I had a major problem with either spybot or zone alarm cant remember which, I think zone alarm and had to uninstall it. Now I dont recall what version and if just cutting it off will be okay this time. cristy ----- Original Message ----- From: " milady" <kg6ocz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 3:52 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Scan Disc or Defrag. ???? > I guess it depends on your system??
