You are welcomeDo you really want defragmenter to run at every boot up? It will slow down the boot time.Unless you are a very heavy user you only need to defrag once per month at the most..

I don't mind doing it myself as I do use the pc daily usually just for email and bill paying and light word input. I think I'll be ok just defragmenting once every couple of weeks to monthly. Thanks again. It was driving me crazy.
