≪ You *never* need to defrag PAGEFILE.SYS because it is recreated each time you reboot the OpSys≫ Hmm. No such file as pagefile.sys, apparently, on a Win 98 setup. (Yes, I do have "show all files" turned on.) But if you don't have to do anything with it, the point is moot.In older versions of Win, it's called WIN386.SWP. Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
