Defrag File Name Needed

[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.

Defrag.exe lives in C:\WINDOWS

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.

Re: Defrag File Name Needed

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.
