Terry, Defrag is a windows term meaning to defragment your files. You see, what happens is that files get used by windows, then windows put them back on the hard drive, but not in the right place. so files get defragmented or broken up in to pieces. then they get scattered and they slow down the operation of your machine. so Windows has a program called defrag.exe which cleans up the hard drive and puts files back together. I said I believed the free disk space does the same thing. I hope this is clearer now. Isaac
