what is a defragment, i followed your steps and did a disk clean up, what does the refragment do.

Since nobody answered...

When you save data on your hard drive, it is broken up into many small pieces that are written into any space that\'s free. So if you have a text file of 32 kilobyte, let\'s assume it is split into four 8 kilobyte fragments. When you open the file, the pour fragments are found on the hard drive and assembled (not entirely true, but it\'s a good picture). Now the whole hard drive has to be run through in order to get the four pieces - it is fragmented. When you defragment a hard drive, you reverse the fragmentation that occurs during everyday use - the PC tried to order the little data fragments into a more or less sensible order. That will allow the pc to find the fragments quicker when they\'re needed, cutting the time you will have to wait while your PC loads a file. However, the defragmentation progress takes quite some time.

And to reassure you once again: Firefox is free and miles better than IE. It has the tabbed browsing feature and alows extensions to be used (like mouse gestures - try those out, it will make browsing lot quicker). Also, you have a search feature in the upper right-hand corner - try downloading the CMON plugin here. It is written by me and also completely free It will allow you to search the CMON gallery regardless of the site you are currently browsing.

i missed this plug! i can have the source code via pm please? ^^ so cool

 

[Mosch]

What do you want the source code for? Nothing to compile there
Just download the plugin and there you have it. It\'s just a script.

 

[Tony Manero]
