It an illusion, notice if you defrag and hit defrag again it still takes the same time and all the free spaces have appeared again. Biggest con around I reckon. tedheath Quite correct, for the rubbishy MS defrag.	JJJJJ (528)

Not all of the code of an application is loaded at any time. It's likely that the most often used modules would be kept separate from the rest. So defragging could be a problem, rather than a solution. What Jack really needs is a special version of Windows to run FS only. It should have one big icon; to start FS. After it has done that it should stay out of the way. That's a programme loader. ;) It might need to have support code for a file system. That's how disk operating systems started out. I often used one which used a maximum of 2kB of memory. The rest of memory was left for the application. The OS used CPU only when it was needed.	Graham L (2)
