Handy Helper


If something's not quite as it should be, for example, if a cute little icon titled 'Recent Places' suddenly pops up on your Desktop and right-clicking on it for the list that you hope includes 'Delete' but doesn't is no help to you, then before you push the Panic Button, give this nice little freebie a try. To go to its website, please click here.

Start by clicking on 'Action' in the title bar, and choosing 'Analyze' which gets it doing a look-see and evaluation of what's misplaced in that part of your drive. When you click on 'Defrag' it will not only do a fast defragmentation of your drive, but will also show you a count of the fragmented files it contained, and the number of total fragments those were in - all while it's quickly putting those together. And even if you didn't need to know all of that information, it's still nice to see how conscientious the program's designers were. It's reassuring. And the bottom line is, your misbehaving bits and bytes get put in their proper places.
