    USE THE IMPROVED WINME DEFRAG UTILITY IN WIN9X
    Microsoft shipped WinME with an improved version of Defrag. It's much faster than the stock version that shipped with Windows 95 or 98. Reports from around the net indicate that it is safe to use the WinME Defrag utility in previous 32-bit consumer versions of Windows (Win95 and Win98). If you choose to use it ...
    1. Find your stock version of DEFRAG.EXE in your %WINDIR%, usually C:\Windows.
    2. Right-click it and select Rename from the menu, and rename it to DEFRAG_OLD.EXE.
    3. Now unzip WinME Defrag to that temporary directory and rename it to DEFRAG.EXE.
    4. Move it to your C:\Windows directory, and you're done.

    If for some reason, the new WinME Defrag doesn't work, you can simply delete WinME Defrag, rename the original, stock version back to DEFRAG.EXE again and you're back in business.

    One last tip: If you're having trouble running Defrag, either version, boot into Safe Mode, run Scandisk first, and then run Defrag. Actually, it's a good idea to do this occasionally as it defragments the one file that can't be defragmented in normal Windows, your swap file.

    Always important to consider is the more often you defrag the least amount of time it takes!! Some people recommend to defrag daily and others weekly, but you are right to consider 3rd party defrags. I used to use the onboard defrag for Windows XP and it took six hours but when I installed a 3rd party app it took ~15mins. But it is relevent to how often and current activity.
