Tried to use Disk Defragmenter but it disappeared from the System Tools
folder of Accessories. I just installed Service Pack 2. Could this be the
reason?

It didn't work either way. the first option gave information on the hard
drive but nothing was executed. The shortcut just produced a quick blip but
nothing happened.

Start, search, for files or folders.
Search for defrag.exe.
When you find it (mine is C:\win\system32 folder) right click defrag.exe and
drag to the desktop and save it as a shortcut.

Oops!! Sorry, didn't test it.
system files work differently I guess.

Right click the icon and select properties.
Change "Targe"t to %SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc
That made mine work ok.

Thanks Gene, it works. Now, I remember that System Tools had more items than
I have now. One that comes to mind is Disk Analyzer. Was there?
