I tried the procedure on Windows 98 and it worked as described. I would however question the value of a defrag done this way over the normal method. This procedure has no chance whatsoever of working on XP or any other NT platform OS. There are a number of reasons for this. 1. A normal system.ini file on an XP system does not have a [Boot] section. This is for the simple reason that system.ini is not used to control the boot process on NT systems. This file is used only to configure the environment for old 16 bit applications. If a [Boot] section is added it will be ignored as it is not valid on these systems. 2. On Windows 2000 there is no defrag.exe file. On XP (and I expect Vista as well) defrag.exe is a command line tool. If no arguments are provided it will show the command help and then terminate. The defrag tool on these systems is called dfrg.msc. Obviously this procedure was not tested on XP. Larry Miller Microsoft MCSA This appears to be a very confused article.
