re: deframenting Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 8:49 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by WhitPhil (221 messages posted) At the 10% mark, defrag is "optimizing" your programs for faster startup. This is using info in a hidden folder called \Windows\Applo maintained by a program called TASKMON. If you are running a relatively fast PC and harddrive, the benefits of this are little. I would suggest the following: Start > Run > MSCONFIG > Startup tab and UNselect the program TASKMON. Then, reboot and run EXPLORER Browse to the folder \Windows\Applog (ensure that you have the option set to Show All Files). Then, select all files in this folder and delete them. Then, install the WinMe version of Defrag, which is substantially faster than the original 98 version. http://members.cox.net/scotterpops/enhancements/enhancements9c.html Written in response to: deframenting (john ward: Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 6:46 am) Responses to this message: re: deframenting (gewg_: Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 12:52 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] deframenting (john ward: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 6:46 am) re: deframenting (Cam: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 7:18 am) re: deframenting (WhitPhil: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 8:49 am) re: deframenting (gewg_: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 12:52 pm) re: deframenting (BobC.: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 9:20 am) re: deframenting (gewg_: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 1:31 pm) re: deframenting (James: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 9:50 am) re: deframenting (Jack: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 5:08 pm) re: deframenting (gewg_: Thu, Aug 4, 2005, 6:11 pm) re: deframenting (Jack: Fri, Aug 5, 2005, 6:08 am) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
