I mentioned it as a throwaway point as a consequence of the fact that UltraDefrag has a native interface. It is is NO way required to use the boot time option to defragment files. Using the normal online GUI defrag, the program should be able to defragment any and all files regardless of owner or permissions, subject only to files being in-use and locked exclusive. Any decent defragger should be able to do this. Certainly it appears that the built-in defrag and JkDefrag do not qualify as decent. Brian
