Perform the following:
1. Right-click on your Desktop and select: NEW > SHORTCUT
2. In the Create Shortcut window, type in: %SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc , and click "Next"
3. In the next window, type in: Disk Defragmenter , and click "Finish"
4. A Disk Defragmenter shortcut icon will appear on your Desktop.

Tried installing Dinkeeper but got something about 'cant run services'
So i tried Start/run/gpedit.msc to try and sort something out.
Geuss what, I get 'Access is denied'
My comp boots up without having to enter Name or password etc. Great. I am
the only user.
Over the 2 years Iv'e had this comp I have reinstalled the system 2 or 3
times. Without wiping the hard disk.
As a consequence I've ended up with 2 user names and 2 'Documents and
settings'. Only one of which is now used, of course.
A right mess.
How do I become sole owner and user of this machine? Preferably without
another reinstall.
