No, that's why you haven't seen it.

You might want to try Diskeeper Lite. It's a neat little utility with a
small foot print that does a very effective job. You can still get this
version free at,

thanks, Dapper Dan for the link to diskeeper lite. By any chance, can you
recommend one that is not 12 MB big. This pc has only 128 MB ram (20 GB HD)
so I am trying to limit as best as i can, big software downloads. Free would
be nice too and user friendly. Perfer to get one that someone
recommends.Thank you

XP lies about that. You should defrag long before XP says you should.

There are several out there but this is the one I prefer. I may be wrong but
I don't think your 128 RAM is an issue. This utility doesn't work in the
background, so unless you are defragging, it simply takes up only 12 MB of
your 20 GB space. When defragging, most of your background programs should
be closed therefore memory shouldn't be affected.

Try it; if you don't like it you can always uninstall it.
