Guest bunnieknit Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Re: DISK DEFRAGMENTER 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. -- bunnieknit "ColTom2" wrote: > Hi: > > Glad that you have your defrag back.
