Defrag File Name Needed

[Guest Kermit and Barbara]

I can remember installing a Windows-2000 (I think) defrag file on my

Windows-98SE system some time ago...I did this to make the defraging my

system faster. Well, I have lost track of the name of that file and

where it should be installed on the 98SE system. Can anybody enlighten

me on this subject?

 

This is a part of my system recovery after my recent system meltdown.

 

Thanks in advance for any help sent my way.

You may be thinking of the Defrag.exe file from Windows Me, which works

better on 98SE than the native version.

 

As dadiOH has said, it lives in C:\WINDOWS. The Me file has version

number 4.90.3000 as opposed to W98SE's 4.70.1998.

The newer Win2k files can be obtained from the MGDx web site.

 

I will caution though, there appears to be two (2) offerings of the

scanfrag.exe [the file that contains the new files]. One includes other

files which MAY cause problems in your system [contains winfile.exe, the

WRONG [old] version of dskmaint.dll, and a few other files]. The other seems

to also contain the older dskmaint.dll [unless it has been updated since I

downloaded it for testing]. You want at least the 4.90.3000 version for

dskmaint.dll. You also will want CVTAPLOG.EXE updated to 4.90.3000 if you're

using defrag to adjust your files per Windows load fast schemes [which are

debatable as useful].

Don't forget you also need to install one of the time zone updates, one

from MDGx, or Gary Terhune [MVP] has one available on his web site:

http://www.grystmill.com/ and you need to make sure you have updated as much

as you can via windowsupdare [though many useful files are NOT available via

that site.

Thanks everybody for the help. I just couldn't remember which version

of Windows had a defrag.exe file that worked with 98SE...and was fast.

I made the download I made the download of the ME version and all is well.
