    Good question. I am now using Windows XP. Formerly, when I used ME, I was
    using SystemWorks, and I particularly liked some of the utilities, such as
    Cleansweep and the defragmenting utility Speed Disk. I do not care for XP's
    defragmenting utility. Cowart and Knittlel, in "Using Windows XP
    Professional", suggests using Norton's Speedisk, or perhaps Disk Keeper. The
    defragmenter in XP is a limited version of Disk Keeper (from Executive
    Software).

    Yes, my version of XP is the Professional.
