   EV>A few weeks ago I defragged my HDD, it has been a long time since I've   
   EV>taken the time to do that.   
      
   Defraging regularly, Although for larger drives it takes a LONG time for   
   larger Hard Drives, is just as good the same as a re-install.   
   And is a far less hassle.

   The MS operating system tries to be everything for everybody so loads   
   lots of stuff you may not realy need at startup. And some programs   
   demand things at start up to even function.

   That is a good solution but don't you have to leave the computer power   
   strip on for it to work?
