I have 2 friends that are not able to find defrag on their ME computers. Can
somebody point me in the right direction so I can help them out?

What happens? Is the problem that they have other applications running at
the same time that keep accessing the hard disk? If so then I would
suggest they boot to Safe Mode and then run defrag and scandisk as this
will minimise the number of other applications and processes that are
running on the system.

Does that mean you're sleeping OK these days?

You memory serves you well George. However, although that is the correct
(default) location of its *shortcut*, the shortcut *may* be missing or have
been deleted for some reason. (And not for the first time IIRC on these
pages!)

If that turns out to be the case, the application itself is located as
c:\windows\defrag.exe, from where it can be run directly or a new shortcut
can be made.

Hope that helps.

Not really OK but certainly a lot better than some months ago. Thanks for
asking.
