huck, real quick, cause i'm on my way out... you got me to thinking when you said, "My defrag alarm is at 3%". and here's what i'm thinking. there are two ways to set the alarm.... percentage unfragmented percentage fragmented if, for instance, your alarm is set at 3% unfragmented, then most of your drive will be a mess before the alarm is triggered! you should confirm that the 3% is fragmented. this data is located in the properties for disk optimization dialog under the 'style' tab. there you'll see a sensor scale with this info noted. see which % is selected. if your 'trigger' level really is set at 3, you'd better be sure that 'fragmented' is selected and not 'unfragmented'. for the record, the 95% i have my alarm set for is 'unfragmented'. hope this makes sense. more later. :) mark

Cookies are tough to get rid of... Clicking 'Delete' doesn't seem to do it. Nor can you erase them in a DOS window. To get rid of a cookie, you must boot to DOS and erase them. Be careful to get all the copies, because if you don't, Windows will restore them. Look in C:\Windows\Cookies\ and C:\Windows\Tempor~1 Hint: C:\Windows\Cookies\ seems like a hidden folder that won't appear with DIR. Type CD \Windows\Cookies. Once in the Cookies directory, you'll be able to erase them. Or download one of those Cookie managing programs. Many have posted to this thread that they work well. Cheers, PW.
