Re: DISK DEFRAGMENTER

[Guest bunnieknit]

This was exactly the repair I was looking for.

 

I had installed Diskeeper on a free trial basis, but couldn't afford to buy

it when the trial ran out several weeks back so I uninstalled it. I decided

I needed to defrag yesterday and discovered that my defrag shortcut was gone.

I think Diskeeper is so aggressive that it tries to take the place of the

Windows Defragger, and when I deleted it, it took the shortcut to the Windows

Defragger with it. I've heard a lot of good things about Diskeeper, but I am

not happy with what happened when I uninstalled it.

 

Anyway, thanks for posting the way to reinstall the original shortcut to the

Windows Defragger.
