From: Unknown on 23 Mar 2010 16:13 In an effort to get you to think (if you can) my Boot optimizing is set to 'Y' in the registry. IE Boot optimizing is on. Why doesn't my computer experience the same 'slow down' as the OP's? THINK__THINK____THINK. Does yours slow down.?????

From: Tim Meddick on 23 Mar 2010 16:18 The OP "THINKS" it is this process that is slowing his PC down, but, not only myself, but both of the MVPs, believe that it should *not* be doing so (reasons explained in earlier posts). The OP should look elsewhere for the reason his PC is so slow; Look at; the "Run" reg-key (HKCU & HKLM); in the Startup Folder[s] (on your own Start Menu and the All Users Start Menu) both for excessive and unnecessary entries. To the OP: You could download and try this [free] program to determine what process are started automatically by your system : http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Autoruns.zip == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Unknown" <unknown(a)unknown.kom> wrote in message news:ujRnoRsyKHA.5576(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > You are absolutely insane.

From: Unknown on 24 Mar 2010 11:20 Hey Bright Spark! Was your computer indexing rather than defragging? Did indexing get turned on?

From: Tim Meddick on 24 Mar 2010 18:39 Bright Spark, I was not shouting at you, they were replies directed at "Unknown" who, despite myself, got under my skin. After getting statements from two others, agreeing with me about what "Boot-disk optimization" means (and that includes "Disk defragmenter" auto-starting in the background, being part of this process), Mr "Unknown" persistently tried to ridicule me for what I was saying. And I reacted, in possibly not in the wisest of ways, to this. To yourself, I believe that I have been nothing but courteous, attempting to convince you that the "dfrgntfs.exe" process you see IS quite a normal part of XP, what part of WinXP this is part of, and how, if you still want it to stop, to stop it from happening. I just irked me to think that you may be taken down the "blind alley" of thinking that the process was started by some unauthorized means (like malware) as was suggested by "Unknown". As I said, I believe I have been nothing but polite [to you] and you are free to take "Unknown"s point of view as fact if you like, but it's my own opinion that the slowness of your PC may coincide with the appearance of the "dfrgntfs.exe" process, but I doubt that any process that takes up less than 10000Kb of memory (on a system with 512Mb RAM) would be impacting on that system's performance. I suggested you look elsewhere for the cause of the slowing down of you PC. However, I know I could well be wrong about the cause, but with the information I gave you on how to stop the automatic launching of the "dfrgntfs.exe" process, you could experiment and prove it to yourself that it is, indeed, the culprit... I am sincerely sorry if I have displeased you in some way, it was not my intention to be pedantic. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-)
