Computer is telling me my hard drive is full - shows 100%. Tried to delete programs I am not using but it does not have room to do this either. Internet Explorer is messed up also. Did not have probelms until Windows downloaded update files (62 of them) a couple of days ago. How can I get it to defrag?1 person needs an answerI do too

First of all, note that defragging does nothing to get you more diskspace. It *rearranges* what's on the drive; it doesn't deleteanything. Second, if your drive is full, there are various things you can do tosave some space, but they are all at best stopgap measures; yourproblem will return quickly. The only real solution to your problem isto buy a bigger hard drive. Fortunately they are very inexpensive now. Ken Blake (MS MVP)
