I use DK Lite on my NT4 boxes (servers) but I use the integrated defragmentation on my WK2 work-stations, it's OK but it often cant defrag live system files so they will remain fragmented until the system writes them in a contiguous fashion. If you are dead keen you can install a second cut down O/S install on the same or better an alternate drive then use that to defrag your main O/S. There are also a few very good utilities about that can be used to defrag selected files (like the swapfile) on start-up. See: http://www.sysinternals.com/ I do see performance increases after defraging my drive that I've left for some time. The current O/Ss do their dammedest to try to fragment the files, just look a the crap that IE shoves in you profiles.
