I am using Win XP - is it possible to start the disk defrag program before the windows menu screen loads? or to even have dos/command promt to start before windows? (My "really old computer" using win 3.1...lol...allowed me to run dos without running windows first, however I can't seem to do this with win xp!!)
Someone once showed me how to start the disk defrag prog. before windows starts on a pentium II comp running win 95 (i believe with an "F" key function??), however that was several years ago, and I no longer remember how to do this. Reason for this is I was told running disk defrag in Windows, even though you have closed all programs, doesn't work - you have to run the program outside of windows in order for it to work - is this true or not? Would anyone be able to shed some light on anything mentioned? Thanks!!
