| Re: Disk Clean up and Defrag Windows XP Pro William, Thanks for your quick reply. I have only tried the Defrag instructions you suggested and it worked except, When I went back into the Defrag utility it appeared that there was not a defrag performed because my drive show heavy fragmented squares. How do you advise?

| Re: Disk Clean up and Defrag Windows XP Pro Does your User Account have a password? This may be the problem because I believe you need an Account with a password to start a scheduled task.
