Your having Diskkeeper is irrelevant. Diskkeeper is a third-party tool that
you can use instead of the built-in Windows defragmenter, or not, as you
prefer.

Whether or not Diskkeeper (or any third-party defrag tool) is installed, the
Windows defragmenter can be accessed from Start | Programs | Accessories |
System Tools | Disk Defragmenter.

Microsoft Defrag is not on my computer. When I run Diskeeper it gives me an
error that it cant run on this machine.

I did a search and did what this site said to do and it fixed my diskeeper.
I still would rather have the plain Microsoft defrfag.

What do you mean by "takes over"? Are you saying that if Diskkeeper is
installed, Windows Defrag is automatically uninstalled? Why would it do
that?

Ken

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?..

OK, if you say so. It still seems odd to me, but I'll defer to your
obviously superior knowledge of it.

That's my understanding as well, although I can't confirm it for sure.

I didn't suggest that you should.

I don't use it myself (I use Perfect Disk), but I'm sure that you're right.
In fact, it's probably safe to say that almost every third-party defragger
is a better one than what comes with Windows. The same is true of
third-party alternatives in most categories of utilities. It's unlikely that
someone would be successful in selling (or even try to sell) Windows XP
users a product that's inferior to what they already have for free.
