I don't think that it is so much a case of XP defrag being uninstalled so
much as Diskeeper takes over it's rightful place.. I am sure that I read
some time ago that XP Defrag is a cut down version of Diskeeper, that MS
hold a license to use the cut down version..

I haven't ever thought to uninstall Diskeeper to find out whether or not XP
Defrag reappears.. why would I do that as Diskeeper is by far the better
product?..
