Huh?  Did MS make a defragmenter for Win3.11? I thought it was just the dos 
defrag? All the third-party defrags I remember using did a fine job of 
defragmenting absolutely everything.

Cite?  Certainly the XP defragmenter moves files around to open up free 
spaces.  I suspect it's just files that have absolute addresses in them, 
like the UNC and system restore points.


Hey Warp, if you get it defragged, let us know what it was? :-)
