Disk defragmenter usually takes ages but this time took 50mins.
To stop problem of it restarting cause of the Screen save,
I just reset it to come on after 1hr
Appeared to go okay amnd finish.
But when I went back in history of yesterday & today, though the
link name & address are there, all my "temp int files" have gone,
cookies, the lot.
People keep saying u must of done "Disk clean up" but I know I didnt,
plus the recycle bin was not touched its still has things in it, so does temp folder.
Im sure Disk defra doesn’t normally get rid of temp int files. Or have I just forgotten
Any ideas??

464731 2006-06-20 06:37:00 I have never heard of this happening before but it is generally a good idea to empty out the temp files, history, etc before doing a defrag anyway.

Was there a reason you didn't want this happening?
