re: DEFRAG Monday, September 9, 2002 at 7:53 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mac (2831 messages posted) Same here. These fixed files can be generated by system restore particularly if they show in goups of three rows across the screen. Answer, disable system restore and run defrag in safe mode. I don't use system restore BECAUSE OF this problem. I just use the Windows start-up diskette (bootdisk) and type scanreg /restore at the DOS prompt (C:\>) and have deleted the _RESTORE file. Windows builds a new one, but it is practically empty and can be made read-only and system so that it stays at zero bytes, if you want to do so.
