Thanks to whomever wrote the instructions. There is some use to them, but the order seems to be almost reverse based on the net gain in peformance from following the instructions. Also the author did a lackluster job of explaining fragmentation. Yes a defragmenter reorganizes files to maximize startup time, placing complimentary files in sequence or groups. However, the other equally important thing a degfragmenter does is remove fragmentation. There's probably a good definition on Wikipedia or something you could link to. When are they just going to support idle time defragmentation at the Hard Drive bios level? If they just supported Fat32 I'd be happy.
Cheers,
