| Hello:
|
| How good is the disk defragmenter from Executive Software that comes bundled
| as part of Win XP?
Question 1 - it does it's job.
Disk Defragmenter MMC is based on the full retail version of Executive Software Diskeeper.
The version that is included with Windows XP and later provides limited functionality in
maintaining disk performance by defragmenting volumes that use the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS
file system.

| What are the advantages to switching to another defragmenter?
Question 2 - Can do more. No limitations.
|
| What other defragmenters are recommended for use with Win XP?
Question 3 - what I recommend and have used. The choice is always with the user, do you
want more or are you happy with what you have. What you use is personal preference, these
three are all excellent.
