Defrag

Once a week I run all checks on my computer including defrag. Someone has told me that I only need to defrag once a month.

Any comments.

It depends on how may files you have on your HD. If you do a lot of downloading and then deleting of files you may need to defrag more often. You didn't say which OS you have, XP will do an analize then you can decide if you want to defrag. I defrag about once a month. John
