Can DfrgFat.exe be turned off?1 person needs an answerI do too

Can DfrgFat.exe be turned off?Yes.dfrgfat.exe is the defragmenter for disks (partitions) that are formatted with the FAT file system. Although most XP installs are on NTFS-formatted partitions, you don't HAVE to have your disk formatted with NTFS and if you upgraded to Win XP from an earlier version of Windows, you might have elected to not re-format your drive.Dfrgfat.exe is written by DiskKeeper and may be running because you have installed DiskKeeper and configured it to run when the computer is idle. However, the Windows XP built-in disk defragmenter is based on DiskKeeper, so you will have dfrgfat.exe and dfrgntfs.exe even if you never install DiskKeeper. By default, defrag runs with the CPU is idle. You can disable this by using TweakUI as describedhere . Get TweakUI here (unless you have an Itanium 64-bit system, make sure to NOT get the version for Itanium systems)

I have a problem with my computer running processes and slowing everything to a crawl. It looks as though you have provided an answer for the dfrgfat.exe thing. Thanks much. The other process and more constant pain in the neck seems to be wuauclt.exe which appears to start when I go online. What is it and can it also be turned off?

It seems that recently there have been some (a lot?) of people who have had problems with Windows Update consuming a lot of system resources and slowing things down. I'm not a Windows Update expert and haven't followed these threads closely.You should go to the Windows Update forum and either (1) try the methods for resetting Windows Update components that are described in the sticky thread near the top of the forum, (2) start your own question about wuauclt.exe, or (3) search for threads in the WU forum about wuauclt.exe slowing things down. If you elect (1), be sure to read the "more information" from PA Bear in addition to the KB article. If you elect (2), be sure to read and follow the suggestions in the sticky thread "What information to post in the Windows Update forum."If your original question has been resolved, please mark this thread "Answered."
