No defragmentation tool?!?!?

[MarkittyMayhem]

I have a laptop with Windows XP on it that has no defragmentation tool installed on it, does anyone know where I can download this .exe file? I've searched Google and Microsoft... to no avail.

WTF?

First,are you certain you can`t find it ? Have you tried typing defrag in the run box ? Is it hiding on the XP CD ? If you need something to fill the gap,try this- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1207 It`s better than the Windows version.

Try Number 280 left column

But i'd personally agree with Peddant, that is a far better option, fast and efficient and the paid version is ideal to set to run on the system or scheduled for daily defrags etc.

Thanks!

I'm positive it isn't on the laptop. I can't even get msconfig to pop up in the run command box. I think my only choice is to wipe it clean and reinstall windows, something is seriously wrong with its Windows OS. When I try to hunt it down in properties ( defragment ) it is simply not lit up. Says there is no tool installed.

I appreciate the links though, perhaps I will just install the defragmenter tool there and see what I can do with it. But the msconfig missing is now making me scratch my head as well.

you've likely not got view system files allowed

in windows explorer click tools folder, options, view. Find the option for hidden folders and files and set it to show hidden files and folders.

Then try run - defrag

Policies from the company's AD servers? login locally instead of domain.

start->run->compmgmt.msc<enter>
left column, find disk management and below disk management; defragmentation

spyware is also a possibility

start->run->regedit<enter>
go to key hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
